| Date of effect | 1 July 2020 |
The Government will increase the Medicare levy low-income thresholds for singles, families, and seniors and pensioners from 1 July 2020 to take account of recent movements in the CPI so that low-income taxpayers generally continue to be exempt from paying the Medicare levy.
| 2019-20 | 2020-21 | |
| Singles | $22,801 | $23,226 |
| Family threshold | $38,474 | $39,167 |
| Single seniors and pensioners | $36,056 | $36,705 |
| Family threshold for seniors and pensioners | $50,191 | $51,094 |
For each dependent child or student, the family income thresholds increase by a further $3,597 instead of the previous amount of $3,533.
