Medicare Levy & Low Income Tax Offset
Medicare Levy
The Medicare levy is 2% of your taxable income. You're exempt if income is below $26,000 (singles, 2024–25). A reduced levy applies between $26,000 and $32,500. High-income earners without private hospital cover may also pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge (1%–1.5%).
Low Income Tax Offset (LITO)
LITO reduces your tax payable by up to $700 if income is below $37,500. It phases out at 5c per dollar between $37,500 and $45,000, then at 1.5c per dollar up to $66,667. It does not reduce the Medicare levy.
