STIR says: 9 September 2014 at 20:27 Thanks, I had to add a couple of zeros in the Additional medical Expenses Tax Credit line before it was accepted when submitting my provisional tax online. I am still unsure about whether to use both contributions in the Additional medical Expenses Tax Credit calculation should I be required to fill this in future returns. The formula requires the annual contribution (mine only or mine + employer's) less four times the annual normal credit.... etc I am clear about the normal credit calculations - in that it does not rely on any medical contributions. |

TaxTim says: 10 September 2014 at 0:04 The additional credit relates to 4 x the contribution in total, it doesn't matter who pays for it, the law speaks of the contribution and even if the employer settles this, that amount that they pay is still taxable in your hands as a fringe benefit so you would be paying it anyway. |
