Hi Hex,

Please could you let me know what are the majority parts of tax claim that a 457 visa holder can claim?  I am a bit keen to know because for last 2 years, each year I only claimed back a few hundred dollars out of 30K+ tax paid each year,  Is this a normal number?  I have a feeling that I might have lost a great deal of money. 

You can claim Medicare levy because on 457 we don’t have Medicare card , but only until the time you apply for permanent residency, once you have applied for PR, you can’t claim Medicare levy , because only on the basis of PR application you can have a Medicare card !
