Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if you need to work out an amount (your applicable fund earnings ) in relation to a * superannuation lump sum to which section 305 - 70 applies that you receive from a * foreign superannuation fund.
If you were an Australian resident at all times
(2) If you were an Australian resident at all times during the period to which the lump sum relates, the amount of your applicable fund earnings is the amount (not less than zero) worked out as follows:
(a) work out the total of the following amounts:
(i) the part of the lump sum that is attributable to contributions made by or in respect of you on or after the day when you became a member of the fund (the start day );
(ii) the part of the lump sum (if any) that is attributable to amounts transferred into the fund from any other * foreign superannuation fund during the period;
(b) subtract that total amount from the amount in the fund that was vested in you when the lump sum was paid (before any deduction for * foreign income tax);
(c) add the total of all your previously exempt fund earnings (if any) covered by subsections (5) and (6).
If you were not an Australian resident at all times
(3) If you become an Australian resident after the start of the period to which the lump sum relates (but before you received it) the amount of your applicable fund earnings is the amount (not less than zero) worked out as follows:
(a) work out the total of the following amounts:
(i) the amount in the fund that was vested in you just before the day (the start day ) you first became an Australian resident during the period;
(ii) the part of the payment that is attributable to contributions to the fund made by or in respect of you during the remainder of the period;
(iii) the part of the payment (if any) that is attributable to amounts transferred into the fund from any other * foreign superannuation fund during the remainder of the period;
(b) subtract that total amount from the amount in the fund that was vested in you when the lump sum was paid (before any deduction for * foreign income tax);
(c) multiply the resulting amount by the proportion of the total days during the period when you were an Australian resident;
(d) add the total of all previously exempt fund earnings (if any) covered by subsections (5) and (6).
Previous lump sums from the fund
(4) If the lump sum is not the first lump sum from the fund you have received to which this section applies, for subsections (2) and (3) the start day is the day after you received the most recent such lump sum.
Previously exempt fund earnings
(5) You have an amount of previously exempt fund earnings in respect of the lump sum if:
(a) part or all of the amount in the fund that was vested in you when the lump sum was paid (before any deduction for * foreign income tax) is attributable to the amount; and
(b) the amount is attributable to a payment received from a * foreign superannuation fund; and
(c) the amount would have been included in your assessable income under subsection 305 - 70(2) by the application of this section, but for the payment having been received by another foreign superannuation fund.
(6) The amount of your previously exempt fund earnings is the amount mentioned in paragraph (5)(c) (disregarding the addition of previously exempt fund earnings under subsection (2) or (3) of this section).
