Hi there is there anyone who can give some info on paying Tax on wages etc. For example if earnings were $800 per week what stoppages would be taken? How do we got about medical care?

Thanks

Karen Gant

Hi Karen,

Here is a simple tax calculator from the Australian tax office:
Tax Tools - Simple Tax Calculator
(there is also a link in the "PLEASE READ...." sticky post )

For Medicare we signed up in person when we got here. I don't think you can do it online since you have to take documents with you but you can check out the
link in the "PLEASE READ...." sticky post.

Regards,
Karen

Good morning Karen, hope you are well,

Thank you so much for that information. Steve has already found the Tax Calculator on the laptop. You are a *STAR*

Regards

Karen
