My wife recently received a TPD payout on a policy she has had for some 33 years.

All premiums were paid directly from her bank account and as such payment from the Insurance company was deposited directly into her bank account.

My understanding is that as it has nothing to do with her superannuation, this payment is not subject to tax.

She is presently 58 and preservation age for her is 59 but i do not think this is applicable as it only applies to superannuation.

Am I correct in this thinking?

Hi @Chippa


 Have a look at the thread on our community page under Tax on TPD Lump Sum I think it answer your question.


The general rule is if the TPD is outside of your superfund then the benefits are not considered income and usually are not taxed as either income or a superannuation withdrawal, so they are paid tax-free.
