Taxable part of immediate annuity

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

With an immediate annuity, not all of your income may be taxable. You can determine the non-taxable portion by calculating an exclusion ratio, which is your investment divided by the expected return. This ratio helps you find out how much of each annuity payment is tax-free and how much is taxable. Your annuity provider should offer the necessary information to help with these calculations.

31 July 2025 Exclusion Ratio = Your investment divided by Expected Return
This ratio is typically expressed as a percentage or a decimal.

Determine the Non-Taxable Portion of Each Payment:
Non-Taxable Portion = Annuity Payment Received × Exclusion Ratio

Determine the Taxable Portion of Each Payment:
Taxable Portion = Annuity Payment Received - Non-Taxable Portion

Your annuity provider (the insurance company) should typically provide you with the necessary information for tax purposes, including details related to the exclusion ratio, if applicable.
