If you receive an insurance payout for property repairs, here’s something important you should know.
That payout is generally considered taxable income—and it needs to be included in your tax return.
Why is that?
Because if you’ve claimed repair costs as a deduction, the payout is seen as a recovery of that expense and therefore, must be reported.
This ensures your income is accurately declared
Keeps your tax return compliant with ATO regulations
