These thresholds are increased in line with movements in AWOTE.
Generally
1. The tax-free component:
> is recorded at Label D on the PAYG Payment Summary.
> is not recorded on the income tax return.
> cannot be rolled over.
> is not an ETP.
> only applies if termination is prior to age 65 or normal retirement age.
2. The amount in excess of the tax-free component:
> is treated as an employer-financed ETP (taxable).
> could be rolled over up to 30 June 2007.
> Employer ETP’s rolled over on or after 1 July 2004 are preserved.
> cannot be rolled over from 1 July 2007. (Transitional rules may apply).
> For the tax treatment of the amount in excess of the tax-free component, refer to the link below – ‘Employment Termination Payments’.
