It is possible that you have been charged the Medicare levy surcharge because your family income is above the relevant threshold, even though your personal income is below the individual threshold.

Checked that and under family threshold also
Hi there @AMR2000
@Glenn4802 is correct. The Medicare levy should be 2% of your taxable income, so if its more than that, it may be the Medicare levy surcharge. It should show the surcharge separately on your notice of assessment.
