Who should use these instructions?

• You should use these instructions if you:
• are a trustee of a super fund, and
• need to roll over a benefit payment for a member using a Rollover benefits statement (NAT 70944).

If a member asks you to roll over parts of their entitlement to more than one fund, you must complete separate statements for each rollover payment.

Your member may commute a super income stream paid to them because of the death of another person. The resulting commutation lump sum may only be rolled over if the person was their spouse at the time of death. In some instances the commutation lump sum payable to a spouse will be a super death benefit that cannot be rolled over.

How do I complete the Rollover benefits statement?

Section A: Receiving fund's details

Complete the details of the super fund receiving the rollover payment, including their:

• Australian business number (ABN), and
• superannuation product identification number (SPIN), or
• member account number.

Section B: member's details

Complete the details of the member you are rolling over the payment for.

If the payment is from contributions-splitting for a spouse, you must provide the details of the spouse receiving the payment.

Section C: Rollover payment details

12 Service period start date

Enter the first day of the service period.

The service period start date is usually:

• the first day of the first period of employment that the lump sum relates to if the member was employed when some or all of the lump sum accrued, or
• the earlier of the following if the member was not employed when some or all of the lump sum accrued  
  • the date when the individual joined the fund, or
  • where the lump sum is attributable to an earlier lump sum previously rolled over, the first day of the service period of the earlier lump sum.
   

13 Rollover components

Complete the tax-free and taxable components.

The tax-free component consists of the crystallised and contributions segments of the benefit.

The taxable component is the total amount of the benefit, less the tax-free component. It includes the:

• element taxed in the fund, and
• element untaxed in the fund.

The untaxed element amount cannot exceed $1 million. You must withhold from any amount in excess of $1 million at the top marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy. The part of the excess that remains (after the withholding tax), is added to the tax-free component of the rolled over amount.

• preserved amount

• unrestricted non-preserved amount.
