LIFE & STYLE
Gifting money or property
With the festive season behind us, many people turn their thoughts to helping family members by giving a gift of money or property. While giving is a generous and often meaningful gesture, it’ s important to understand how these gifts can affect your eligibility or payment amount for the Age Pension.
Centrelink has specific rules about how much you can give away without impacting your pension entitlements. While you’ re free to support loved ones, exceeding these limits can result in what’ s known as a“ deprived asset”- an amount Centrelink still counts as part of your assets and possibly income for a period of five years. This can reduce the pension you receive or affect your eligibility altogether.
What are the rules? There is an exempt amount which will not affect your payment, which is;
• Up to $ 10,000 in a single financial year, and
• A maximum of $ 30,000 over any rolling five-year period,
Any amount above these thresholds may be treated as a deprived asset and assessed under both the assets and income tests. Need Support? If you’ re unsure about how gifting may affect your current or future Age Pension, we’ re here to help.
Contact our office to speak with one of our Age Pension specialists who can guide you through the rules and assist with applications.
