Question: I’ve noticed the Lump Sum Tax Offset (super payment) is calculating at 30% instead of 15% for a non-dependent. How can I rectify this so the client receives the correct tax estimate once their tax return is processed?

Answer: LodgeiT automatically applies the 15% tax offset for the taxed element of a death benefit lump sum.

If you are still uncertain about the calculated estimate:

  • You may proceed to lodge the tax return.

  • Wait for the Notice of Assessment (NoA) from the ATO.

  • The ATO will issue the final assessment, and this will confirm the correct tax calculation.
