Debit for commutation

  (1)   Item   1 of the table in subsection   294 - 80(1) applies in relation to a * capped defined benefit income stream as if the reference in column 2 of that item to the amount of the * superannuation lump sum were a reference to:

  (a)   in a case where the commutation mentioned in column 1 of that item is a commutation in full--the * debit value, just before the commutation takes place, of the * superannuation interest that supports the capped defined benefit income stream; or

  (b)   in a case where that commutation is a commutation in part:

  (i)   if the capped defined benefit income stream is, or was at any time, covered by item   1 or 2 of the table in subsection   294 - 130(1)--the debit value mentioned in paragraph   (a), multiplied by the fraction mentioned in subsection   (1A); or

  (ii)   if the capped defined benefit income stream is, or was at any time, covered by any of items   3 to 7 of the table in subsection   294 - 130(1)--the amount mentioned in subsection   (1B).

  (1A)   For the purposes of subparagraph   (1)(b)(i), the fraction is:

where:

"SV just after commutation" means the * special value, just after the commutation takes place, of the * superannuation interest that supports the * capped defined benefit income stream.

"SV just before commutation" means the * special value, just before the commutation takes place, of the * superannuation interest that supports the * capped defined benefit income stream.

  (1B)   For the purposes of subparagraph   (1)(b)(ii), the amount is the lesser of the following:

  (a)   the * debit value mentioned in paragraph   (1)(a);

  (b)   the amount (disregarding this section) of the * superannuation lump sum you received because of the commutation (as mentioned in item   1 of the table in subsection   294 - 80(1)).

Debit for events that result in reduced superannuation

  (2)   Item   3 of the table in subsection   294 - 80(1) (about events that result in reduced superannuation) applies in relation to a * capped defined benefit income stream as if the amount of the debit provided for in section   294 - 85 was the * debit value, just before the loss or payment reduces the * value of the * superannuation interest that supports the capped defined benefit income stream, multiplied by the amount worked out using the following formula:

where:

"SV just after event" means the * special value, worked out just after the loss or payment reduces the * value of the * superannuation interest that supports the * capped defined benefit income stream.

"SV just before event" means the * special value, worked out just before the loss or payment reduces the * value of the * superannuation interest that supports the * capped defined benefit income stream.

Debit for payment split

  (3)   Item   4 of the table in subsection   294 - 80(1) (about a debit for a payment split) applies in relation to a * capped defined benefit income stream as if the reference in section   294 - 90 to the * value of the * superannuation interest were a reference to the * debit value of the superannuation interest.

Debits for loss of earnings exemption

  (4)   Items   5 and 6 of the table in subsection   294 - 80(1) apply in relation to an income stream that is, or was, a * capped defined benefit income stream as if the reference in the item to the * value of a * superannuation interest were a reference to the * debit value of the superannuation interest.
