Submitting 5 years of ITR12s to SARS to claim back old medical contributions?



Really love the website and service. Have a question regarding very old tax forms. I have been employed for around 5 years but never submitted an tax return (thus only the IRP5's). I however did contribute to an medical aid of around R1,000 per month for all these years. How far back can I go to claim these refunds?

What will my PAYE be?



I am going to be 67 in July
I earn R18000. 00 per month
The Company pays my full medical aid of R3940. 00

What should my paye be for the 2015 tax year

Many Thanks
