    Anyone know if the Pill is a qualifying expense under the Med 1 form?

    For normal contraceptive purposes I don't think so.

    However if prescribed for a valid medical reason then possibly. Talk to doc about it.

    I think you can -- might want to ring your local tax office to double check though.....

    Of course it's allowed. Here is the rule:

    Drugs and medicines can only be claimed where supplied on the prescription of a qualifying practitioner.
