Hello,

 

Does anyone know how much you may if you don't have Medical Insurance? We cancelled ours in March this year.

 

Thanks

This is from the ATO website

 

We calculate MLS at the rate of 1% of your taxable income. The MLS is in addition to the 1.5% Medicare levy.

 

The MLS being the Medicare Levy Surchage

 

Cheers

You only pay the surcharge if your income is over the threshold as well so

 

"The Medicare Levy Surcharge is a Levy, or an extra tax, on Australian taxpayers who do not have private hospital cover and who earn above $77,000 for individuals and $154,000 for couples or families, increasing by $1,500 for each additional child after the first."
