Hi there! Sorry if this is a dumb question. I don't have a tax accountant and I'm lodging a couple years of taxes late
I am getting slammed with a few thousand dollars for each year for the Medicare Levy (not the surcharge) resulting in a hefty tax bill considering I am a regular salaried worker. Is this normal?
I would have expected that the Medicare Levy tax would have been withheld like normal income tax by my employer during the year, so that at EOFY I don't have to find $2-3K+ to pay the levy with.
It’s not normal. Talk to your HR ASAP
