The total amount of LISTO entitlements made under subsection 12C(1) and 12C(2) of the Act

Notes:

  1. Where a low income superannuation tax offset entitlement represents an additional entitlement for a beneficiary in respect of a financial year, that beneficiary is not reported again.
  2. Both the total amount of low income superannuation tax offset entitlements determined and the total amount recovered are rounded up to the next whole $1,000.
  3. The total amount recovered includes amounts repaid to the Commissioner and amounts (new entitlements) offset against unrecovered overpayments (that is, reduced entitlements for a different year). A reduced entitlement, and thus the need to recover amounts, can result from an amendment to an individual’s income tax assessment or a change to the superannuation contributions reported for that individual.
  4. This report includes determinations of entitlements made during the quarter from 1 October 2018 to 31 December 2018. A determination of entitlement occurs once both an individual’s eligibility and the amount of their entitlement have been established.
