S 27ACA repealed by No 15 of 2007, s 3 and Sch 1 item 3, applicable to the 2007-2008 income year and later years. S 27ACA formerly read:
If:
then the payment is taken to be an eligible termination payment (the
new ETP
) in relation to the non-member spouse under: A has a superannuation interest that is subject to 2 payment splits in respect of A
'
s marriages to B and C (in that order). The first payment split provides for a 60% share to B and the second payment split provides for a 50% share to C. Assume that any payment to B or C would have been an eligible termination payment for A (if the payment had been made to A). A becomes entitled to a splittable payment of $100. By applying subsection (1) in relation to the first payment split, B gets an eligible termination payment of $60. By applying subsection (1) in relation to the second payment split, C gets an eligible termination payment of $20. S 27ACA(1) amended by No 78 of 2005.
SECTION 27ACA EFFECT OF PAYMENT SPLIT UNDER THE
FAMILY LAW ACT 1975
ON ELIGIBLE TERMINATION PAYMENTS
27ACA(1)
ETP for non-member spouse.
(a)
a payment split applies to a splittable payment; and
(b)
as a result:
(i)
a payment is made to the non-member spouse (or to his or her legal personal representative if he or she has died); or
(ii)
an interest in a superannuation fund, or an annuity, is created for, or an amount is transferred to a superannuation fund for the benefit of, the non-member spouse in circumstances prescribed by the regulations; and
(c)
either:
(i)
the payment mentioned in subparagraph (b)(i); or
if it had been made to the original payee, would have been an eligible termination payment under a paragraph of the definition of
eligible termination payment
in subsection
27A(1)
;
(ii)
a payment equal to the value of the interest or annuity created or the amount transferred mentioned in subparagraph (b)(ii);
(d)
if the splittable payment becomes payable before the death of the member spouse
-
that same paragraph; or
(e)
otherwise
-
paragraph (ba) of that definition.
Example:
27ACA(1A) ETP taken to be rolled over in some cases.
There is taken to be a roll-over of the new ETP in a case to which subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) applies.
S 27ACA(1A) inserted by No 78 of 2005.
27ACA(2) Calculation of components of new ETP.
Each identified component of the new ETP is to be worked out in accordance with the following formula:
|
New ETP
Pre-split amount |
× | Corresponding amount |
where:
corresponding amount
means the amount that would have been that component if the whole of the pre-split amount had been an eligible termination payment in relation to the original payee.
pre-split amount
means the amount to which the payment split was applied.
Example:
To continue the example in subsection (1), assume A ' s undeducted contributions (one of the identified components) are $40.
In relation to B, the pre-split amount is $100 (the amount of the splittable payment). The undeducted contributions component of B ' s eligible termination payment is:
$60
$100× $40 = $24 The other identified components of B ' s eligible termination payment are worked out in a corresponding way.
In relation to C, the pre-split amount is $40 (the original amount of $100 less the $60 paid to B under the first payment split). A ' s undeducted contributions have been reduced to $16. The undeducted contributions component of B ' s eligible termination payment is:
$20
$40× $16 = $8 The other identified components of C ' s eligible termination payment are worked out in a corresponding way.
27ACA(3) [Eligible service period]
For the purposes of working out all the components of the new ETP, the number of days in the eligible service period is taken to be zero.
27ACA(4) ETP for original payee.
If there is an eligible termination payment (the original ETP ) in relation to the original payee in respect of the splittable payment, then each identified component of the original ETP is to be worked out in accordance with the following formula:
|
Original ETP
Pre-split amount |
× | Corresponding amount |
where:
corresponding amount
means the amount that would have been that component if the whole of the pre-split amount had been an eligible termination payment in relation to the original payee.
pre-split amount
means the amount to which the payment split was applied.
Example:
To continue the example in subsections (1) and (2), A has an eligible termination payment of $20.
In relation to A, the pre-split amount is $40 (the original amount of $100 less the $60 paid to B under the first payment split). The undeducted contributions component of A ' s eligible termination payment is:
$20
$40× $16 = $8 The other identified components of A ' s eligible termination payment are worked out in a corresponding way.
