Red Bird Posted July 25, 2019 Share Can anyone offer advice on this question?My wife works as a teacher and her salary is well below the R500k threshold (teacher, of course). Her tax gets deducted and IRP5 has been issued, and theoretically she doen't need to submit a return.However, this year she took out a hospital plan (no medical via the school) and it's cost her about R15k in premiums. The payments are direct and don't appear on the IRP5.The question: assuming the school deducted correctly, is it worth submitting a claim via efiling for the medical expenses?She can submit a ITR12 which reflects income from all sources. The medical aid would have sent you a tax certificate which states the total amount of premiums paid. Request the 2019 tax form on efiling and it should reflect her IRP5 and Medical details already. She should get about 20% back on premiums. Beard, Lotus and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbarn Killer Posted July 26, 2019 Share I am still waiting on my 2018 refund Got around 30% of amount I was due to getDispute lodged and got a further 10% in January Another dispute...and the time lines have expired and still nothing.Been escalated now,,,another 21 days timeline SARS has 60 working days to respond to a dispute (not 21 days). If these 60 working days have expired, you need to lodge a complaint via the CMO (Complaints Monitoring Office). Those call centre escalations are not worth the time spent on the phone. They end up in cyber space. It's best that this is done via eFiling, however, you have the option to do this via telephone. If you do it electronically, they will probably tell you that eFiling is your only option. Having said that, if your objection was only partially allowed, you have to do an appeal for the balance. If you have lodged an objection again, SARS will disallow it and tell you to appeal. Then the whole process starts again.
