In my view the worst thing about the Budget 2013 is the scrapping of the Medical Expenses Tax Offset. You know the one where if you incurred out-of-pocket health expenses over $2060, you would receive a rebate of 20% of the costs above that. Gone or rather means tested as per advice from the ATO web-site:So if you have a disability, we come to you with open arms but if you have serious health issues, screw you as you can afford it. I know of no family who would willingly undergo the trauma of medical intervention merely to obtain a crappy tax deduction and I feel they should not be done over like this.However, I probably live on a different planet so it's all OK.
