HOW TO CLAIM DEDUCTIONS FOR YOUR OTHER MEDICAL EXPENSES
Next year you will still be able to claim the tax deductions you enjoy for medical expenses other than those for the contributions you pay to a medical scheme as covered by the tax credits. The deductions for other expenses will benefit you at your marginal tax rate.
Taxpayers under 65 with no disabilities or disabled dependants will be able to claim medical expenses not recouped from a medical scheme and some of the scheme contributions – those not covered by the tax credits – only if these exceed a certain limit.
The South African Revenue Service will work out this deduction for you. However, if you want to do the calculation for the tax year that starts on March 1 next year, first add your unrecouped medical expenses for the tax year to the contributions you paid during the tax year that exceed four times the tax credit for the primary member – that is, contributions that exceed R864 a month each for the member.
Second, work out 7.5 percent of your taxable income before any deductions.
Only if the amount you worked out in step one is greater than the amount in step two, can you claim as a deduction the amount from step one that exceeds the amount determined in step two.
Taxpayers with disabilities or disabled dependants can skip step two, because they are entitled to claim all their unrecouped expenses.
Over 65s just need to add together all their medical scheme contributions and unrecouped expenses and deduct these from their taxable income.

A Gauteng-based financial adviser, Deeb Risk, on the legal advice and with the financial backing of a Santam-owned insurance company, has launched an urgent application in the Pretoria High Court to prevent Noluntu Bam, the Ombud for Financial Services Providers, from hearing complaints by investors who face losses of millions of rands in the wake of the implosion of various Sharemax pro-perty syndications.
If successful, the application could prevent hundreds of people from receiving quick and cheap assistance from Bam’s office, and from being compensated by financial advisers who provide them with bad advice.
In a replying affidavit, Bam warns that if she is interdicted from dealing with complaints against Risk and his company, “it will open a flood of applications from financial services providers who placed their clients’ investments in a manner contrary to the FAIS (Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services) Act.
“A dangerous precedent will be set that will effectively prevent hundreds of people from coming to the ombud’s office for assistance. The purpose of the Act will be defeated,” Bam says.
Risk, with the support of Santam subsidiary Stalker, Hutchison and Admiral (SHA), which provided Risk with professional indemnity insurance, wants to tie up ageing pensioners, whom Risk advised to invest in property syndications, in expensive court battles that could be taken all the way to the constitutional court.
Risk and SHA do not want the complaints to be decided by the ombud’s office, which was created to give consumers a quick and cheap way to recover money lost as a result of bad financial advice.
The application, which is due to be heard on Tuesday, was made by Risk and his company, D Risk Insurance Consultants. It seeks to interdict Bam and the Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, as well as eight pensioners, ranging in age from 71 to 85, whom Risk advised to invest in the Sharemax syndications.
Risk and his company, backed by SHA, have already lodged a normal court application to stop Bam from issuing determinations. The urgent application was made because Bam issued a determination two weeks ago that ordered Risk to pay Elise Barnes, a 71-year-old pensioner, R800 000. Risk advised Barnes to invest R1.4 million in a Sharemax syndication, but Barnes had to forgo R600 000 of that amount in order to obtain quick and affordable redress from the ombud, who is limited to ordering compensation up to R800 000.
This week, Bam issued another determination that ordered Risk and his company to pay Barnes R400 000 for another property syndication investment that he advised Barnes to make.
In an affidavit in support of his urgent application, Risk says he wants the High Court to:
* Stop Bam from registering her first determination against him as a civil judgment with the registrar of the High Court (which she is required to do within 30 days of making a determination); and
* Restrain Bam from making any further determinations against him until a judgment is handed down in the main application.
Risk claims that his constitutional rights have been undermined because Bam did not direct the pensioners to make their claims against him in the High Court. In her replying affidavit, Bam says, in terms of the FAIS Act, the ombud has the sole discretion to decide on that issue.

Ways that will almost certainly be able to save your extra income is as follows:

Members and potential members of medical schemes should remember, when weighing up the costs of a scheme’s options, that the tax subsidies for medical scheme contributions are due to change from March next year.
For taxpayers under the age of 65, the subsidy will change from a tax deduction (an amount set off against your taxable income) to a tax credit (an amount set off against the tax you must pay), at a rate that is expected to make medical scheme membership more affordable for lower-income earners.
As the tax credit will be set at 30 percent of the current rand amounts allowed as a deduction for contributions, people who earn more than about R325 000 a year could end up paying more tax when the tax credit becomes effective on March 1. People who earn less than about R235 000 a year should see some kind of tax saving. The change should be largely neutral for people who earn annual amounts between R235 000 and R325 000.
Taxpayers over the age of 65 will still be able to deduct from their taxable income all their medical scheme contributions, as well as all their medical expenses.
The proposals to change the tax deduction to a tax credit from March next year are contained in the Taxation Laws Amendment Bill, which has been approved by the National Assembly and which will go to the National Council of Provinces next week. The bill is expected to be promulgated before the end of this year.
For the first two months of next year, the tax deductions will remain as they are at a fixed rand amount, and your tax saving will depend on your marginal rate of income tax.
For example, if you earn R150 000 a year, and your medical scheme contributions for next year for a family of four will be R2 320 a month, your employer will be entitled to deduct the full amount from your monthly salary before calculating your Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax for the month.
Because a person who earns up to R150 000 a year pays tax at 18 percent on all earnings above the tax threshold (in the 2011/12 tax year, R59 750 a year for taxpayers under the age of 65), the tax saving from the deduction of R2 320 will be equal to about R418 a month.
If you are self-employed, you will deduct the relevant amounts when you calculate your provisional tax and when you calculate your tax liability on assessment at the end of the tax year.
As of March 1, the tax tables will be adjusted to take account of inflation, and the current deductions on which the proposed tax credit of 30 percent are based may also be revised to take account of inflation.
However, assuming the tax rate for the person who earns R150 000 remains at 18 percent and the proposed tax credit is implemented at a rate of 30 percent of the current deductions, this taxpayer will be entitled to a tax credit of R720 a month for the next 10 months of the year. This will result in a tax saving of R302 a month. (The new tax credit of R720 less the previous tax saving of R418 equals a saving of R302 each month for this taxpayer.)
You won’t be able to calculate exactly how the introduction of the tax credit will affect your pay packet until the tax tables are announced in the Budget in 2012.
Currently, the maximum tax deductions for medical scheme contributions for the 2011/12 tax year are R720 a month for an adult member, R720 a month for the first dependant and R440 a month for each dependant thereafter. Your contributions must be equal to at least these amounts to enjoy the deduction – if they are lower, the deduction is equal to the contribution you pay.
Begin securing funds for legal and other professional fees. If your husband controls all access to the family funds, he can make it difficult (if not impossible) for you to have the resources necessary to hire the divorce team you need. Unfortunately, choking off the money supply is a common tactic, one that often forces a woman to sign a divorce settlement agreement that is totally lopsided in her husband’s favor. Avoid this kind of financial squeeze. Be proactive. Make sure you have funds that are secure and available only to you.
- Open new accounts in your name. Don’t use the bank where you have your joint accounts. Go to a different bank, and open a new checking and savings account in your name. Your divorce attorney may instruct you to withdraw up to half of your joint funds (state law will dictate what you can and cannot do), and you’ll need to deposit those funds in your new accounts. Open a new credit card account in your name, too. Keep in mind, though, that new federal regulations are making it harder than ever for women with little or no income to establish credit on their own. Proceed with caution, but do proceed –moving forward as a single woman will require that you establish good credit and solid financial footing.
Marital property consists of all income and assets acquired by either spouse during the marriage including, but not limited to: Pension Plans; 401Ks, IRAs and other Retirement Plans; Deferred Compensation; Stock Options; Restricted Stocks and other equity; Bonuses; Commissions; Country Club memberships; Annuities; Life Insurance (especially those with cash values); Brokerage accounts – mutual funds, stocks, bonds, etc; Bank Accounts – Checking, Savings, Christmas Club, CDs, etc; Closely-held businesses; Professional Practices and licenses; Real Estate; Limited Partnerships; Cars, boats, etc; Art, antiques; Tax refunds.
In many states, if your separately owned property increases in value during the marriage, that increase is also considered marital property. However some states will differentiate between active and passive appreciation when deciding if an increase in the value of separate property should be considered marital property.
