Worked Example
For a single taxpayer with a taxable income of $60,000 in the 2014-15 financial year:
- Taxable Income: $60,000
- Tax Rate: 37% (for income over $37,000)
- Tax on first $37,000: $37,000 × 19% = $7,030
- Tax on remaining $23,000: $23,000 × 32.5% = $7,432.50
- Total Tax Before Offsets: $7,030 + $7,432.50 = $14,462.50
- Medicare Levy: $60,000 × 2% = $1,200
- Total Tax Payable: $14,462.50 + $1,200 = $15,662.50
