If a person has no income due to illness and is investing a lump sum that is awarded due to personal injury (the cause of the illness that prevents work) - do they have to pay DIRT on the interest?
Furthermore, if a person becomes capable of work after a few years would they have to pay DIRT if a fixed term investment was maturing? Eg: interest accrued over the period they are incapacitated, but payable just as they can return to work?
I'm thinking specifically about the value of state savings over 5 years against other lump sum accounts if no DIRT is due.
