SMSF | Taxing superannuation payments

OVERVIEW

This module provides the final overlay of taxation on benefit payments. Having identified the components of a member’s interest, the proportioning that applies to benefit payments and the types of benefits that can be paid, the final step is to determine how much tax is to be paid on those benefits. The module also considers the taxation treatment of non-standard benefit payments such as disability superannuation benefits and terminal illness benefits.
