Is the taxable component of withdrawal of superannuation on Compassionate grounds for medical care able to be claimed at tax time if I’m on a pension (I have not earned a taxable income for the financial year).
Just need to know if I need to do a tax return at the end of the financial year…
If tax has been withheld from the payment you will. (and most likely that will be the case).
You may even get a refund.

Hi @Shadow74,
We've also discussed this on a similar post last year, September 2025. I'd recommend having a read, as it may help you too.
