TPD Payout Taxes

Tax Implications of TPD Payouts

When you receive a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) payout, it's essential to understand the potential tax implications. How your TPD benefit is taxed depends on several factors, including your age, the source of the policy, and the method of payout. This article offers a basic overview of the tax considerations related to TPD claims.

Understanding Taxation on TPD Claims

1. Age Factor: The amount of tax you owe can vary depending on your age. If you are below the preservation age (determined by your birth date), you might face a higher tax rate on the TPD payout.
2. Source of Policy: Tax implications also differ based on the origin of your TPD policy. Payouts from a policy held within a superannuation fund may be taxable, whereas standalone policies outside superannuation usually offer tax-free payouts.
3. Payout Method: The method of receiving your TPD benefit – whether as a lump sum from a superannuation fund or as ongoing income payments – can influence its tax treatment.
