Minimise tax on your payout

TPD payouts are often taxed at a higher rate than necessary, reducing the amount you can actually use. Our specialists help structure your payout to legally minimise tax, ensuring you retain more of your funds for medical expenses, living costs, and future security.

Understand your Centrelink impact

Receiving a lump sum TPD payout can affect Centrelink benefits such as the Disability Support Pension (DSP) and Carer Payment. Our experts will assess how your payout impacts your eligibility and guide you on strategies to retain entitlements while securing your financial future.

Understand your options

Not all TPD payments are treated equally, and how you manage your funds can significantly impact your financial stability. We help you navigate options such as structured payouts, investment strategies, and Centrelink compliance, ensuring you make informed decisions.

Understand impact on Workers Comp

If you are also receiving Workers’ Compensation, your TPD payout could interact with your claim or affect ongoing benefits. Our team ensures your payout strategy aligns with Workers’ Comp rules to avoid financial setbacks and maximise your entitlements.

Your Questions Answered.

Do you have a question about superannuation that no one seems to be able to answer? Look no further.

Will I have to pay tax on my TPD payout?

Yes, tax may apply depending on your age, super fund rules, and the taxable/tax-free components of your payout. If you're under preservation age, you may face a higher tax rate compared to those who have reached preservation age. Our advisers will guide you through the rules and how to minimise the tax.

How is the tax on my TPD payout calculated?

The tax is based on:

The taxable and tax-free portions of your benefit
Your age at the time of withdrawal
Your super fund's tax treatment
Using a TPD tax calculator (like ours) gives you an estimate of what you might owe. For an accurate payout figure you must request this from your superannuation fund.

Can I reduce the tax on my TPD payment?

Yes! there are various less well known methods and strategies that are 100% legal to help you maximise your payout.

If my TPD claim is approved, when will I receive my money?

It depends on the insurer and your super fund. Typically, processing takes between 2 weeks and 12 weeks, depending on complexity and whether further medical or employment records are needed.

What happens if I withdraw my TPD payout before getting advice?

You could lose out on tax savings and may pay a higher tax rate than necessary. Seeking advice before withdrawing helps structure your payout efficiently. Most people never get the tax back as a refund, so what is deducted from the payout is usually non-recoverable.

Can I continue working after receiving a TPD payout?

If your TPD payout is from super, you must be deemed unlikely to work in your usual occupation again. However, in some cases, you may be able to retrain or work in a different field. We can discuss this with you further during our consultation.

Will my TPD payout affect my Centrelink benefits?

Yes, a lump sum payout could impact your Centrelink benefits due to asset and income tests. Strategies we create can significantly minimise any impact on Centrelink including Family Tax Benefits, Disability Support Pension, Job Seeker and Carer Allowance and Payments.

Do I need to lodge a tax return after receiving a TPD payout?

If your TPD payout is from super, you must be deemed unlikely to work in your usual occupation again. However, in some cases, you may be able to retrain or work in a different field. We can discuss this with you further during our consultation.

Can I continue working after receiving a TPD payout?

Yes, if part of your payout is taxable, you must report it in your tax return. However, if the entire amount is tax-free, you may not need to declare it. Have a chat to your accountant

Can I still contribute to super after a TPD payout?

Yes, in most cases, you can continue making contributions to your super, provided you meet eligibility criteria, such as work tests or contribution caps. This may also cause issues for future access to your super so speak to our advisers.

How does the 'tax-free uplift' work in TPD payouts?

✔ The tax-free uplift increases the tax-free portion of your TPD benefit
✔ It’s calculated based on your age, date you last worked, and when you joined your super fund
✔ This can reduce the taxable amount, saving you thousands!

Can I withdraw only the tax-free portion of my TPD payout?

✔ The preservation age is when you can access your super, based on your birth year:

Born before July 1960 → 55 years
Born 1960–1964 → 56–59 years
Born after July 1964 → 60 years
✔ Under preservation age? Your TPD payout may be taxed higher
✔ Over 60? Your withdrawal could be tax-free! (unless you have a special fund untaxed fund)

Do I have to withdraw my entire super balance after a TPD claim?

❌ No, you can leave some or all of it in your super
✔ Once your TPD claim is approved, you can access it anytime However if the medicals expire (usually after 12 months) you may pay more tax (by losing the tax free portion). Also, tax goes up with your age until 60, so you may pay more taxes. Speaking to our financial advisers is critical.
✔ Keeping funds in super may provide better long-term tax benefits

How can I minimise tax on my TPD payout?

✔ Wait until age 60 to withdraw for a tax-free benefit

✔ Talk to us for a strategy that keeps more in your pocket. We know the system and how it works. Just tell us your preference.
