If you have shown income from an Australian superannuation income stream at item 7 on your tax return, you may be entitled to a tax offset equal to:

• 15% of the taxed element, or
• 10% of the untaxed element of your superannuation income stream benefit.

The tax offset amount will be shown on your PAYG payment summary - superannuation income stream.

You are not entitled to a tax offset for the taxed element of any superannuation income stream you received before you turned 55 years old unless the superannuation income stream was either:

• a disability superannuation benefit, or
• a death benefit income stream.

You are not entitled to a tax offset for the untaxed element of any superannuation income stream received before you turned 60 years old unless the superannuation income stream is a death benefit income stream and the deceased died after they turned 60 years old
