We haven't had to and we probably won't have to. If we did, then I'm sure we'd make sure we qualified first

Thats reasonable. You'll be better off not paying interest if you pay it off. Try to put your regular debt payment amount back into super when you cam afford it.

We both did. He's on jobkeeper and I've had to reduce my hours as grandparents couldn't look after our children. It all happened in differing time frames.
Please everyone, just PLEASE stop judging others and their situations!!!!
It's their money and will affect their future. Yes, they may have to work additional years then when others are retiring but guess what??? If it keeps their bills out of arrears and their kids in sports then put it out of your mind!!!
These are very terrifying times and we don't know what to expect!!
Be kind!!

Why does it bother you so much what other people are doing?
It's not your business.

^ When people respond to a post, they're making it other peoples business. Maybe them wanting to know is none of your business. If they don't want others to know, they don't need to answer. Simple

Its not part of your tax return. Has no impact on it whatsoever

If you withdraw without it being a legit covid19 reason, it WILL be added to your taxable income and you could also receive a fine. The scheme is not without consequences if you don't follow the rules

It is part of your tax return, once you lodge your return, if your income hasnt reduced by 30% and you took money out of your super you will have to pay tax on that amount (about $3000, if you took $10000) and possibly be fined too for providing fraudulent infomation.

Omg educate yourself before sprouting. You do not have had to have an income reduced by 30 percent to be eligible!
Read the eligibility requirements

That's a stupid method. Our yearly income didn't drop 20% but at the time of pulling it out it had. I don't think that's how they'll be working it out. They have access to payslips so will probably just verify against that to check eligibility at the time of pulling it out. Our whole year didn't drop 20% but at the time of pulling it that month we had lost 20% .

My dad retired and withdrew it all as lump sum just before this all happened and was hit heavily with tax, so yes it must be taxable income.
However good move on his part as so many people lost so much in super when covid hit us, so he's lucky there!
