Hi there and thanks in advance. I am just going through a divorce and the final paperwork (all done via a Lawyer) will be presented in court over the next couple of weeks, which contains a mutually agreed Separation Agreement and the Divorce itself, all signed. As part of the agreed settlement, I will be receiving $45,000 into my superannuation (Virgin Money Super) from my ex Wife's Superannuation (GESB), but have been told that because hers is a Government Superannuation, I will be paying 15% tax. Is this correct, help!! :)

Correct if the transfer is from an untaxed super account.

Thanks Bruce, I have just Googled "is GESB a Taxed Super Fund" and it said GESB Super is a taxed fund, which means tax is deducted upfront, when certain types of contributions are made into the account and from any investment earnings.


We shall see, but huge thanks for the response Bruce
