The Medicare levy surcharge is a percentage of taxable income and reportable fringe benefits, and is in addition to the Medicare levy. It is paid by taxpayers who do not have the relevant private patient hospital cover for any period of the year. Income for surcharge purposes is the sum of taxable income (including the net amount on which family trust distribution tax has been paid); exempt foreign employment income; reportable fringe benefits; total net investment losses; and, reportable super contributions; less, if aged 55-59 years old, any taxed element of a super lump sum, other than a death benefit, that does not exceed the low rate cap. From 1 July 2015, the income thresholds used to calculate Medicare levy surcharge (MLS) and Private health insurance (PHI) rebate will not be adjusted for three years. The thresholds will remain at the 2014-15 levels for 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18. This change was announced in the 2014-15 federal Budget and passed into law on 26 November 2014.
