What does my tax statement show?
Your tax statement shows:
- Your share (for taxation purposes) of the total health insurance premiums you paid to CBHS Corporate Health between 1 July 2021 and 30 June 2022 that are eligible for the Australian Government Rebate on Private Health Insurance
- The amount (if any) of Australian Government Rebate you received
- The number of days you held private hospital cover with CBHS Corporate Health during the financial year (if this is less than 365, you may need to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge calculated only on the days you missed).

For details regarding the Medicare Levy Surcharge, please visit the Australian Tax Office Medicare Levy Surcharge website.
