 (1) The amount of supervisory levy for a single policy is the amount in cents worked out using the formula:

 


453 300 000

aggregate single policies + (2 × aggregate other policies)

 

 

 

where:

aggregate single policies means the total number of single policies on issue from all private health insurers on 1 July 2018;

aggregate other policies means the total number of complying health insurance policies (other than single policies) on issue from all private health insurers on 1 July 2018.

  (2) However, if the amount worked out using the formula is more than $2, the amount of supervisory levy for a single policy is $2.
