[@ashraafdaniels3885]

Good day. I filed my return and put in the amount in by medical expenses not covered on medical certificate, so now they want proof that I payed cash. Can you please help me what to do next

[@DelvineMounsearWilson]

Hi Andre. Is there a way of claiming medical expenses if you have no medical aid and are over 65 years of age?

[@riaancoetzee1715]

Thank you Andre. How would one complete medical expenses paid on be halve of someone else for codes 4035/4020 and 4034?

[@AndreBothmaTax]

There is a separate question on the tax return for that

[@thandomazibuko7080]

Hi Andre , what would be the reason for a pension fund fringe benefit in income being more than the pension deduction for employer contributions ? (Total contributions don’t exceed 350k and 27,5% limit)

[@nontufuleni4171]

I would also love to know this.

[@AndreBothmaTax]

You need to check that with your employer

Thank you for all the user friendly and informative videos. Does medical insurance (R 2 500 monthly) fall under medical expenses please?

[@AndreBothmaTax]

Medical insurance is not considered allowable out of pocket medical expenses

Hi Andre I have watch this tuturial, but we do not have a medical aid, how would I complete this on 2023 SARS efiling. Do we need to make an appointment at SARS? Thanks hope you can help

Thanks Andre, very helpful!
I am a person with a disability with significant out of pocket expenses not paid for by Discovery. After submitting, I received the following correspondence:
"Please note that your assessment cannot be processed immediately as there are certain aspects of your return that require manual intervention. SARS will advise you as soon as your return has been assessed"
There is no place to upload supporting documentation (ITR-DD) etc on my Income Tax Working Page. Does the above correspondence mean I need to wait for SARS to manually intervene before the upload option will be available to me?
Cheers
Matt

Has this been sorted out yet?

Where do I put in disability school fees on sars,what is the code to look for?

[@helensteyn8433]

Andre how do you access a Request for Remission if the form was saved on efiling in PDF format and you want to access to file the form

[@AndreBothmaTax]

Request for Remission should be under the Admin Penalty section - it takes a bit of effort to get there - good idea for a video :)

How to apply for return income tax

[@leemanyeli8455]

Hi Andre, can you please do the same return for businesses on efiling for us. Thanks

[@AndreBothmaTax]

Sure - I've planned to make a video about filing business tax returns.

How do you claim a medical expense if you don't have medical Aid

[@AndreBothmaTax]

You have to declare your medical expenses as additional medical expenses

[@matt7557-k3g]

What's the code for that?

[@aaronsellosekati3342]

Hi Andre, first would like to show my appreciation of your content as I've been looking for information on how to do stuff on sars.
Question, how do you claim working from home. With covid hit, most of us worked from home and alot don't know you could claim for it, some like me know this how ever I don't know how to claim for it.
Please kindly assist on how to claim working from home.

[@AndreBothmaTax]

I could make a video about how to claim working from home, but from my experience, the effort (of trying to claim for it) is often not worth the reward.

[@zwonakaranwashe]
