TaxTim says: 1 July 2015 at 22:26 You are only refunded the RA contribution multiplied by your tax rate. For medical, please read our blog about Medical Tax Credits to get an understanding of how that works. |
Phumla says: 1 July 2015 at 22:32 I'm not sure what this means? Please illustrate using an example. |
TaxTim says: 1 July 2015 at 22:36 If you contributed R5000 for the year to a RA and your tax rate is 25% then you will only receive R1 250 back as a refund. |
