Accrued Leave Tax Deduction
I recently transitioned from part-time to casual employment at a job I’ve held for two years. I received my accrued annual leave as cash, but when I checked my payslip, I noticed something puzzling: I had accrued 103 hours of annual leave and 23 hours of personal leave. However, I was taxed $1,000, and there was no deduction for my personal leave.
Can anyone help me figure out if I’ll get any of that back when I file my taxes? I’m trying to understand this better!

When you receive your accrued annual leave as a cash payout, it’s generally treated as taxable income. This means that the tax deduction you see on your payslip is the withholding tax taken out from that payment. The amount you received for your accrued leave will be added to your total income for the year when you file your taxes.
Regarding your personal leave, it’s typically not paid out when you leave a job (unless specified by your employer) or when your employment status changes. Therefore, you won’t see any tax implications or deductions associated with it since it wasn’t converted to cash.
When you file your tax return, the income from your accrued leave will be included in your total income, which could affect your tax obligation for the year. Depending on your overall income, you may end up paying more or less tax, or you might receive a tax refund if too much was withheld during the year.
To determine whether you’ll get something back when you do your taxes, consider the following:
If you’re unsure or want to get a clearer picture, consulting with a tax professional or using tax software can be beneficial. They can help you understand your specific circumstances and guide you through the filing process.
