Further information
The department will work out your Medicare levy, including
any Medicare levy reduction, from the information you provide on
your tax return.
If you want to work out your Medicare levy, you can use the
Medicare levy calculator.
Reduction for people on low incomes
Your Medicare levy is reduced if your income is below a certain
threshold and in some cases you may not have to pay the levy at
all. The thresholds are higher for seniors. If your income is
above the thresholds, you may still qualify for a reduction
based on your family taxable income.
Medicare levy exemption
You may be exempt from paying the Medicare levy if you?re a
foreign resident, a resident of Norfolk Island, not entitled to
Medicare benefits, or you meet certain medical requirements. If
you?re entitled to an exemption you need to tell us on your tax
return.
Medicare levy surcharge
You have to pay the Medicare levy surcharge (MLS) if your income
for Medicare levy surcharge purposes is above a certain
threshold and you (or any of your dependants) don?t have
appropriate private patient hospital cover. The surcharge is in
addition to the Medicare levy.
