TaxTim says: 2 June 2016 at 9:54 Unfortunately not - the main member on the medical aid should claim the tax credit in his tax return. The tax benefit will be the same regardless of who claims it. |
Candice says: 2 June 2016 at 14:44 Thank you for your reply. The money I'm saving as a beneficiary on his medical aid is very very small, would it be better for me to rather become a main member of my own medical aid? |
TaxTim says: 3 June 2016 at 13:42 Yes, then you can claim the tax credit in your own tax return. |
