Is income from super taxed after you retire?
- If you’re 60 or older, no tax is charged on income stream payments or lump sum withdrawals from super.

You may be eligible for Age Pension
Retirement isn’t always funded by super alone—you might also be eligible for a full or part Age Pension from Centrelink. There are many things to take into account when it comes to Age Pension, including the way it can interact with your assets, such as super.
