Note: the amount of the private health insurance rebate entitlement will vary depending on which income threshold tier the individual falls into – this is based on the individual’s income (either as a single or family) and their age. Broadly, singles and families will not be entitled to any private health insurance offset where the income for surcharge purposes is $136,001 or $272,001 for singles and families for the 2014 year. Obtain details of net medical expenses - A 20% offset will be available where the total of all the net medical expenses of a taxpayer (and dependants) exceeds $2,162 for individuals whose adjusted taxable income is equal to or less than $84,000 for singles or $168,000 for families . For taxpayers with adjusted taxable income above $84,000 for singles, or $168,000 for families, a 10% offset will be available for net medical expenses of a taxpayer (and dependants) exceeding $5,100. Tax tip: the rebate applies to most medical and related therapeutic treatment of a taxpayer and dependants but excludes certain cosmetic surgery. Note: The medical expense offset is phased out from 1 July 2013. Only those taxpayers who received an offset in their 2012-13 income tax assessment will continue to be eligible for the offset for the 2013-14 income year if you have eligible out-ofpocket medical expenses above the relevant claim threshold. The proposed changes will not apply to all taxpayers - the offset will continue to be available for taxpayers with out-of-pocket medical expenses relating to disability aids, attendant care or aged care expenses until 1 July 2019.
