Irmgard says: 21 August 2015 at 8:50 I am a tax returning resident to South Africa. Been working in Botswana for the last 16 years and tax returned to work in RSA from June 2014. I have been contributing monthly to a medical aid scheme in Botswana(BOMAID), will this be deemed tax deductible to SARS? |

TaxTim says: 21 August 2015 at 10:59 Do you not claim the medical aid expenditure in Botswana? Are you able to use the medical aid cover in South Africa? |

TaxTim says: 25 August 2015 at 10:46 If you pay tax in SA you are allowed to use your foreign medical aid as a deduction if that enables you to use the medical aid here in SA (and you don't obviously claim any tax benefit for it in Botswana). |
