Inheritance, do I pay tax?

Posted 3 July 2014

I received a small inheritance last year. The money was released from the guardians fund upon turning 21. Do I declare this as an income? If so, how and where?

Although this is not taxable you can include it under the "amounts not considered taxable" section of the return.
