Where on my ITR12 would I add "Child Maintenance" which I believe would be non-taxable?

Posted 28 June 2013

Where on my ITR12 would I add "Child Maintenance" which was received from my ex-husband as his contribution to the care and maintenance of his two children. As he would have already paid tax on this income, I believe would be non-taxable.

This amount is not taxable and won't need to be entered on the return. However if you do wish to include it you can enter it in the "amounts not considered taxable" section under other.
