We have pre-filled your tax return with payment summary information provided to us. Check for Australian annuity payments you received that are not pre-filled and ensure you add them.
Australian annuities (also called non-superannuation annuities) are paid to you by Australian life insurance companies and friendly societies.
Answering this question
You will need your PAYG payment summary – individual non-business which shows the amount of your annuity and its undeducted purchase price (UPP).
Completing your tax return
1. Select from the drop-down menu ‘Australian annuity payment’.
2. Using your payment summary enter the following information:
- payer's name
- payer's Australian business number (ABN)
- tax withheld
- gross amount of annuity
- deductible amount of UPP (if any).
We will work out the assessable amount by subtracting the deductible amount of your UPP from the gross amount.
