Your personal situation affects your tax obligations
Check your Australian tax residency status if unsure
Uncheck if this is a second job and you already claim the threshold elsewhere (your employer will withhold more tax from each pay).
Check if you have a full Medicare levy exemption (e.g. some visa holders or other ATO-approved cases). No Medicare levy or surcharge will be applied.
Do you have an outstanding student loan?
This may help you avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge
Check if you are fully exempt from Medicare levy (e.g. some visa holders or low-income exemption). When checked, no Medicare levy or surcharge is applied.
