Tax: the 20% rebate on expenses over $1500
OK, doing last year's tax return.
We ran up a huge amount of medical expenses last year. Mine for private birth and physio; DP's for dental.
Mine is well over the $1500 threshold, DP's is just over.
My question is, do we each have to meet the $1500 threshold or do we only have to meet it once.
That is, because I've met it will we get 20% back of DP's expenses or only 20% of the portion that he's over the $1500 by?
