Please define dependancy wrt to medical aid tax deductions,

Posted 21 July 2014

My daughter has recently graduated but is still unemployed, living at home and is therefore still dependent on us for her living expenses. She is registered as a taxpayer on account of small income from a family trust?

If you are paying for her, and she is under the age of 26, and she is financially independent and on your medical aid then you can deduct her medical expenses.
