And further it looks like dum sum was right about the 2% not 3%... when they made it 3% to cover Queensland Cyclones that was an abuse... if they need to raise it to 3% eventually the money must go towards the service.   I have no problem with that...

People earning up to $30,000 don't have to pay the levy which I just found out and found very interesting. Up until Kurt retired we always had to pay the levy.


Does everyone pay the 2% Medicare levy?
Everyone who earns more than $29,033 in the most recent tax year is required to pay a 2% Medicare levy. There are a few limited exceptions to this.12 Jan 2023

* looks like I owe dipshit Dum Sum an apology for calling him a liar... he got one right for a change.

Sorry dum sum you hairy hippy faggot.

If you are on a very high income there are caps. I am not very interested in what they all are or what it all means but I ask Google for some information it is as I suspected, capped. We have never earned $500,000 a year so I have no need to know until this discussion came along but here is one comment by Google... if you want to research then by all means...

I have only used bulk bill doctors for the last 20 years and they don't charge anymore than they get from Medicare.

What is the cap limit for Medicare?

In 2024, the threshold for concessional individuals and families, including families that received Family Tax Benefit Part (A), is $811.80. The threshold for all other (non-concessional) individuals and families in 2024 is $2544.30.

it could be capped. I am actually not sure (unless I go off and look it up) for instance if someone  on $200,000 pays the highest rate and everyone with a higher income thereafter pays what the $200,000 person  pays.

according to the net we in Oz have more doctors than other countries.

Quote from: TheProwler on Today at 04:50:39 PMI gotta say, people who are making a big deal about this, but are not constantly making a big deal about increasing tax brackets for higher income amounts, are kinda just jumping on a bandwagon.

Why are you not making a fuss about tax brackets that increase, but making a fuss about this?

On one hand, Senile J complains about people like me who retire early and live off my savings and investments.

Now, on the other hand, he is whining that I am going to be taxed another $20K or so every year.

Thanks for your concern, Senile Joe, but if I cannot handle paying a little bit more in tax then it is my own fault.

Well, josephine is a shit stirring douchebag so.......
