Which levy increased to 2 percent in July 2014?

• A. Medicare Levy
• B. GST
• C. NDIS Levy
• D. Private Health Insurance Rebate

Answer: (A)

The increase to 2% was part of funding for Australia's universal health system through the Medicare Levy. In July 2014 the Medicare Levy rose from 1.5% to 2% to help finance the National Disability Insurance Scheme, so the levy that increased to 2% is the Medicare Levy. GST is a separate tax on goods and services, and the Private Health Insurance Rebate is a subsidy, not a levy.
