Subject to subregulations (2) and (3), the capital value of a superannuation pension that has commenced to be paid, including a residual pension payable on partial commutation of another superannuation pension, is the amount worked out using the formula:

(AV × PVF) − UPP + RCV

where:

AV
means the annual value of the pension; and

PVF
means the pension valuation factor applicable to the pension under Schedule 3 ; and

UPP
means the undeducted purchase price of the pension; and

RCV
means the present value of the residual capital value, if any, of the pension, calculated in accordance with a method determined in writing by the Commissioner.

(a) ceases to be entitled to a superannuation pension that has commenced to be paid to the person from a superannuation fund; and
