Hi lana.graham Very excited for this AMA! We had a pretty unique & sticky situation yesterday and thought i'd ask how best to model it in Xtools without massive workarounds. The client (aged 42) was receiving a reversionary pension and taking lump sum payments. The pension minimum she was drawing of 72k was taxable but the lump sum payments were tax free. Xtools was taking it all (with 15% rebate). What would you suggest is the best way to work around this? Thank you!

    Hi again dela.dzadey 👋, 

    It sounds like your client's husband was over 60 when he passed away, so the pension payments and withdrawals are tax free. 

    To simulate this, enter the pension with 100% tax free component.
