Does Super count in taxable income for Medicare income test for tax return

[Bridgeman]

I have this year begun drawing payments from an Oz super which I transferred over from the UK. I understand that the payments are tax free. Therefore my question is:

 

On my tax return in the section which asks about what your taxable income is for the income test for the Medicare Levy and the Medicare supplement, do I include the super in my taxable income or not? I am assuming not but don't want to get it wrong.

 

Also on my spouses tax return when she enters spouse's taxable income, does she include the super payments or not?

Go to a tax agent to get your return processed. They are far more experienced dealing with the ATO, and their fee is tax deductable.
