Deed of Settlement. Where is it possible to find out how a deed of settlement and compensation paid under general protections FW Act interacts with tax and centrelink. And whether a payment can effect my child support.

Need to look at how the payment is characterised in the deed. Can be income, ETP, hurt and distress.

The type of payment determines whether tax is paid.
