[澳洲]健保退稅-Medicare levy exemption | Australian Taxation Office

澳洲健保medicare是透過ATO收取，費用則是年收入的2%於報稅時繳納，若年收入低於18200 AUD，就不必繳健保費且預繳的稅則能全數退還。換言之，這篇文章是給賺太多的人看得。

因背包客本身不屬於居民，適用於Category 3條例，依法來說是不必繳健保費的，因此得以免繳。點我看ATO說明

申請免繳證明很簡單，到DHS下載Medicare levy exemption certification application1表格，列印並填妥連同相關文件寄到DHS即可。
