Refund on unclaimed medical aid contribution

Posted 28 November 2014

For the last 5 years I did not claim for the medical aid contribution I made via my company because I did not know that I can. Can I now ask SARS for the refund?

So you never entered in the number of members on your return ever?

Yes I entered no of dependents but did not put in my contributions which was about R3200 pm

If you made it via the company and put in your dependents then the contributions are taken into account via the actual IRP5 so then there is nothing to be done.
