The Age Pension is taxable income, and so is the pension supplement basic amount — the former GST supplement, $30.10/fn — because it is taxed the same way as the pension it is paid with. The rest of the pension supplement is the tax exempt pension supplement, and the Energy Supplement is exempt as well. Because a means test reduces your pension, the split above shares that reduction across both halves in proportion — Services Australia works out the exact taxable figure on your payment summary. SAPTO and the tax-free threshold mean a full-rate pensioner with no other income still pays no tax. How Centrelink payments are taxed.
