The ATO and other sources appear to be providing conflicting information relating to the family income threshold for the Medicare levy in the 2022/23 year.
This page states that the lower threshold is increased by $4,700 for each dependent child.
Sub-section 8(5) of the relevant legislation lists an amount of $3,760 for each child.
Outcomes from the ATO calculator allow for an increase of $3,760 per child.
Return for instructions mention the $4,700 figure
Some external websites refer to the $3,760 figure and other to $4,700.
The $4,700 figure is likely to be relevant only to the upper threshold. However some references seem to apply that amount to the lower threshold.
Can the ATO clarify this issue and change the website wording to make this clearer?
