Simple step to increase your tax refund
Hi
Our records indicate that you have underreported your spouse’s income in previous financial years, which led to a tax bill or reduced refund.
We use your family income to work out the amount of private health insurance rebate (PHIR) you’re eligible for. When you underreported your spouse’s income, the wrong rebate was applied.
When we see a discrepancy between your tax return and your spouse’s income in their tax return, we must recover any excess rebate you received – leading to a tax bill or reduced refund.
What you need to do
Avoid a possible future tax bill by making an accurate report of your spouse’s income in your tax return so we can apply the correct rebate.
The spouse’s income reported on your tax return includes their taxable income, as well as any reportable fringe benefits, net investment losses, and reportable super contributions.
Different income thresholds and rebate rates apply, depending on your family circumstances as at 30 June.
