Frequently Asked Questions
Section 6A provides a monthly tax credit for medical scheme contributions: R364 for the main member, R364 for the first dependent, and R246 for each additional dependent.
Section 6B provides an additional tax credit for qualifying medical expenses not covered by your medical scheme. The calculation differs based on whether you are under or over 65.
