(Repealed by SLI No 167 of 2006)


150AB(2B)    
If, in a year of income, more than one item in the table in subregulation (2) applies to a taxpayer, the taxpayer ' s rebate amount is the amount that gives the taxpayer the greatest rebate entitlement.

150AB(3)    
If subregulation (3A) does not apply, a taxpayer ' s rebate threshold for a year of income is the amount calculated using the formula:


  D   + ( E+F )  
  C  

where:

D
is the tax-free threshold.

E
is the maximum amount of rebate allowable under section 159N of the Act.

F
is the taxpayer ' s rebate amount for the year of income.

Note:

The rebate amount is worked out in accordance with subregulations (2) and (2B), but may then be affected by regulation 150AE or 150AF .

C
is the lowest marginal tax rate.

Note:

For lowest marginal tax rate and tax-free threshold - see regulation 148 .


150AB(3A)    
If the taxpayer ' s rebate threshold, if it were calculated using the formula in subregulation (3), would be an amount that is greater than the amount at which the rebate of tax under section 159N of the Act is reduced, the taxpayer ' s rebate threshold for a year of income is the amount calculated using the formula:


  (C × D) + E + F + G (H + I − C)  
  H + I  

where:

C
is the lowest marginal tax rate.

D
is the tax-free threshold.

E
is the maximum amount of rebate allowable under section 159N of the Act.

F
is the taxpayer ' s rebate amount for the year of income.

Note:

The rebate amount is worked out in accordance with subregulations (2) and (2B), but may then be affected by regulation 150AE or 150AF .

G
is the amount at which the rebate of tax under section 159N of the Act is reduced.

H
is the rate at which the rebate of tax under subsection 159N(2) of the Act is reduced, expressed as a decimal fraction.

I
is the second lowest marginal tax rate, expressed as a decimal fraction.

Note:

For lowest marginal tax rate and tax-free threshold - see regulation 148 .


150AB(4)    
If an amount worked out under subregulation (1), (2), (3) or (3A) is not an amount of whole dollars, the amount must be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar.


150AB(5)    
In this regulation:

illness separated couple

has the same meaning as in:
