Q: I was diagnosed with cancer and have recovered from it. Is the follow-up medical check-up on whether the cancer recurs is eligible for claiming personal tax relief?
A: It depends on whether the follow-up medical check-up is required by the doctor after the recovery. If it is an ongoing requirement, this can be considered as part of the medical treatment and will be eligible for claiming personal tax relief under the medical expenses for serious disease.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
