Not sure if this should be in budget queries, work and employment or here so please move if in the incorrect forum.
I am a full medical card holder and work full time.
In January I paid the income levy of 2% on my wage. I contacted my employer, told them I was exempt and she said she didn't know how to ensure I didn't pay it and to get on to the tax office.
Rang the tax office and was told that I had to pay it and claim it back at the end of this year. That there was no way of making sure some people pay it and some don't.
It has now increased and I was discussing it with a friend yesterday who works in payroll and she advised that what I was told by the tax office is incorrect.
Who is giving me the correct information? If it is my friend in payroll then what do I need to give my employer? Payroll is outsourced so my employer is pretty clueless when it comes to things like this.
I would (I'd guess) be the only person in the company who has a medical card at the moment so it wouldn't be something they have had to deal with before.
