Tax Rates:

Under 55 years of age taxed at 30%

55 and over taxed at 15%

Previously in a severance account you were taxed 32% on all claims. Now you’ll have the opportunity to claim tax free if you are made genuinely redundant.

Under Australian taxation law, genuine redundancies attract a 0% tax rate, any other reasons such as resignation, shortage of work or for casual workers a 32% tax rate applies. For these rates to apply, the member must provide a Tax File Number at the point of claim.

Apprentices may be able to make a claim if they have been made redundant due to the lack of work and have been working on a construction site.
