Hi,

The cheque is valid for 6 months from issue.

Thank you.

Hi there,

If benefits are not in payment i.e. you are not in receipt of a monthly, weekly or an annual pension then you should have the option to take 25% of the pension tax free.
The remainder of the pension will be taxable and added to the rest of any taxable income in the tax year to determine any tax liability. This is what's called a Trivial Commutation Lump Sum.
If the pensions are in payment and you decide to take a lump sum pension then this is the taxable amount. If you refer to your paperwork from the Pension company in Australia, they should be able to tell you if the withdrawal is classed as a lump sum or not.

Thank you.

Hi,

Not all repayments can be claimed online.

If your cheque has been issued we can't reverse this to allow you to claim online.

Thank you
