Unemployed, still claim for medical aid and RA ?

Posted 9 August 2014

Hi TimI have been unemployed this year so have had no income, but have still paid monthly for my medical aid (me and my daughter) and for my RA. Would I be able to claim any tax rebate/refund for the medical aid or RA ?? Thanks Canz

No, as you do not receive any income to offset the deductions against you cannot claim a refund. no taxes were payable.
