The Tax Advantage of a Structured Settlement Payment
Filed Under Financial Planning, Loans, Structured Settlements
People often go for structured settlement of taken loans. This is more often the case with salaried employees who have a reputation to save. They don’t normally think of defaulting and thus need structures that get them benefits. Structured settlement payment gets them a clear go with income tax as there is no tax on settlement payment. This is protected under an act. Thus one can save enough money that would have gone as tax.
Obviously, in such a case it is necessary to be very consistent with your payment status. There is no leniency for any delay or lesser amount payment. The other side cannot accrue payment structures too. It is only allowed up to a certain period till which the entire loan has to be paid.
If one still is in a mess and plans to sell his structured settlement, he may get a bolt from the income tax department. This may hamper his finances strongly.
