A friend just received a $ settlement for pain & suffering. Is it mandatory to report this to the government?


INCOME TAX

No, money awarded in a personal claim doesnt get taxed.
yes the government wants a piece of everything
I suggest you talk to an attorney,I am going to have a lawsuit for 2 million and I wasn't worried about taxes coz I was harmed and injured for life and I don't think they can for a lifetime injury!
He/she will be able to keep 1/3 - 1/4 of it the rest will go into various kinds of taxes.

If this is about the Canadian tax system the Canadian gov't won't take much compared to the American Tax system
The US Government WANTS EVERYTHING you ever get and then they want a little more. So YES or when they find out about it, they will take their share weather you still have it or not. Sorry!!!
I guess you have to check with your lawyer, but generally settlements are not taxed.
My brother in law recieved a settlement for injuries, and he was not taxed on it. It's not considered an income, so they don't take any of it.
