Changed from a 417 or 462 visa to another visa? How the 65% DASP tax can apply

Video summary

Under Australian tax law, if a DASP payment includes any super from your Working Holiday period, the whole taxable component is generally taxed at 65%, even if most of it was earned on a later visa. What matters is what ends up in the same payment. In an illustration, $15,000 paid out together could be taxed at 65%, leaving $5,250, while genuinely separate funds could leave $8,850 in total. This is an illustration, not a promise: fees, insurance, rollovers and contribution history all matter. ALITAX does not give financial product advice.

Registered tax-agent guidance and official sources

Guidance from Bilal Jivraj, Registered Tax Agent #25287564. Educational guidance only; your eligibility, tax position and fees require an individual assessment. Your written quote governs current fees: any refund deduction comes from the tax refund only, never super, and an uncovered balance may be payable upfront.
