Here, we have performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements on powder samples of the quasicrystal approximant, TbCd₆, grown using isotopically enriched ¹¹²Cd. Both quasielastic scattering and distinct inelastic excitations were observed below 3 meV. The intensity of the quasielastic scattering measured in the paramag- netic phase diverges as T_N ~ 22 K is approached from above. The inelastic excitations, and their evolution with temperature, are well characterized by the leading term, B$$0\atop{2}$$O$$0\atop{2}$$, of the crystalline electric field (CEF) level scheme for local pentagonal symmetry for the rare-earth ions [1] indicating that the Tb moment is directed primarily along the unique local pseudo-five-fold axis of the Tsai-type clusters. We also find good agreement between the inverse susceptibility determined from magnetization measurements using a magnetically diluted Tb_0.05Y_0.95Cd₆ sample and that calculated using the CEF level scheme determined from the neutron measurements.
