Dear Most Valuable Clients,

As you know, this year the ATO is processing the tax returns extremely strictly and they are checking each and every thing. So we need to be very careful for the past and the future as well.

If you are on work visa, you don’t need to pay Medicare levy. In those circumstances, you need to apply for the exemption certificate and we are helping you without extra charge and WE EXPECT THAT YOU ARE DOING THE TAX RETURN WITH US. IF NOT, WE MAY ASK FOR A SERVICE FEE.

So what we need to do now is

In July 2012 you are going to lodge 2012 returns (for the income period 01/07/11 to 30/06/2012).

So you need to apply for the exemption certificates for 2012.

Please check whether you applied for 2011 or not and whether you got the certificate or not. If you have not applied for the Medicare levy exemption certificate, (and have applied for a 2011 tax return, and your income is more than $18000) all you need to do is complete one more application form.

Please read General FAQ’s below

  1. Who will authorize the passport?

Answer: We will authorize

  1. Can I scan and send to you?

Answer: No, please post it. If you scan and send it, Medicare levy Exemption unit won’t accept.

  1. If you have any extra doubts, please call us on (02) 98937877 or 0413362797, or email us at .

Any questions with the form will be answered below:

For Question 1, you write what year the application is for (e.g. 2011-2012)

For Question 2, please fill as per your passport. In some cases, only the given name will be there in the passport. For example, if the given name is Kumar and there is no surname, then the surname is also Kumar In that case, the entire name will be Kumar Kumar.

For Question 5, please put your own phone number if you are in Australia. If not, put my phone number; (02) 98937877.

For Question 6, please write where you are living at the time of filling the application form. You won’t get any communication to that address.

For Question 7, write PO Box 3918Parramatta NSW 2124 (please fill exactly)

For Question 8(a), if you have sent the PR application to the Department of Immigration, write yes, and if not, write no. If you are sending it before the 30th the June, please put the date that you are sending it. You will then need to pay Medicare from the date that you sent it until the 30th of June. (e.g. If you are sending it on the 25th of June, you will need to pay the Medicare levy for 5 days until the 30th of June)

How much will I need to pay?

Answer: A very small amount.

If the application is not current, write the date that it was rejected.

For Question 8(b), write yes.

For Question 8(c), please understand and answer the question.

For Question 8(d), write the name of the country that you were in before you came to Australia and the duration that you were there.

For Question 9, please put the dates that you were in Australia for during that financial year. (e.g. if you came into the country on 8/08/2011 and are still here, then please write 08/08/2011 to 30/06/2012)

For Question 10, if you are leaving Australia before 30/06/2012, write yes. If you are not, write no, and leave the next question blank.
