I am not eligible to have medicare benefits.. Do I need to pay medicare levy?
No. Persons who are not entitled to Medicare can seek an exemption to the Medicare Levy in their income tax return. To avail this exemption you must have a certificate from the Medicare Levy Exemption Certification Unit of Medicare Australia (previously Health Insurance Commission) showing that you are not entitled to Medicare benefits. WE CAN ASSIST YOU IN GETTING THE MEDICARE LEVY EXEMPTION CERTIFICATION, WHICH WILL RESTRICT 1.5% TAX TO BE LEVIED ON YOUR TAXABLE INCOME.
