Article Abstract:

A draft tax ruling (TR2002/D13) released by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) states that a non-exempt payment received under a statutory personal injury compensation scheme will be assessable when paid as compensation for loss of income, regardless of how the payment is made. Workers might show reluctance in accepting lump sum settlements in compensation claims as these may be assessed as income.
