Tax time with CBHS
A guide and FAQs to help you through tax time
Keeping it simple
To help make tax time easier, we’re sending your 2025-2026 tax information directly to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Your details will be automatically uploaded and pre-filled in the myTax portal and can be accessed by your accountant or tax agent.
Need a copy of your tax statement?
If your health fund details aren't populating, or you lodge your tax return on paper, you can access your tax statement in your Member Centre inbox under 'Communication'.
Understanding your tax statement
We want to help make tax time as stress-free as possible. That's why we've put together a quick guide that helps explain how to input the private health fund information into your tax return if you need to add it manually.
Questions?
We answer the most common questions people ask about health insurance at tax time.
- We send your tax information directly to the ATO by 14 July, so you don’t need to do anything. Your details will automatically get uploaded and will be pre-populated when you access the myTax portal or visit your accountant or tax agent.
- If your CBHS Health Fund details aren't populating, or you lodge your tax return on paper, a copy of your tax statement is also available in your Member Centre inbox under 'Communications'.
Your tax statement shows:
- Your share (for taxation purposes) of the total health insurance premiums you paid to CBHS between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026 that are eligible for the Australian Government Rebate on private health insurance.
- The amount (if any) of rebate you received.
- The number of days you held private Hospital cover with CBHS during the financial year. If this is less than 365, you may need to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge calculated on the days you did not have cover with any insurer.
- The ATO will receive separate tax information for each membership.
- No, tax statements are only issued for the main member and spouse/de facto on the membership. If you require a statement for your adult dependant, please call us on 1300 654 123 or email help@cbhs.com.au. Identify verification may be required before providing details for adult dependants.
- The figures on your tax statement cover health insurance premiums we received during the financial year. For further assistance, you can access our guide here, or call us on 1300 654 123.

- The Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) is an extra tax some people may need to pay if they earn above a certain income and don’t have private Hospital cover. It’s designed to encourage people to take out Hospital cover and help reduce pressure on the public healthcare system. For more information, visit the ATO website.
- The MLS is in addition to the Medicare Levy of 2% that applies to most taxpayers.
