Question juridique clé
Whether the lump-sum insurance payment is taxable as the child’s own earned/compensatory income under child-tax rules.
Solution extraite
The lump-sum payment qualifies as compensatory income for the minor child and must be taxed directly on the child, not on the parents.
Motifs extraits
The payment replaced future work income lost because of disability and fell within the administrative guidance on child earnings and substitute income; the child’s lack of prior employment does not prevent classification as substitute income for a permanent disability-related loss.
