(i)
the trustee of a continuously complying superannuation fund or continuously complying ADF (in this section called the

History

279D(2)
[Calculation of deduction]
The deduction under subsection (1) in respect of a payment (in this subsection called the
"
actual payment
"
) in respect of a year of income is calculated using the formula:
Notional payment reduction due to contributions tax
Complying superannuation tax rate
|
where:
Notional payment reduction due to contributions tax
is the difference between:
(a) the amount that would have been the amount of the actual payment if:
(i) no amounts were included in assessable income in relation to taxable contributions made to a complying superannuation fund; and
(ii) it had been expected that no deduction would be allowable under this section in respect of the actual payment; and
(b) the amount that would have been the amount of the actual payment if it had been expected that no deduction would be allowable under this section in respect of the payment;
Complying superannuation tax rate
is the rate of tax imposed on the standard component of the taxable incomes of complying superannuation funds of the year of income.
279D(3)
[Limit of deduction]
If the recipient is the trustee of the estate of the deceased person, the deduction allowable is only so much of the amount calculated under subsection (2) as the Commissioner considers appropriate having regard to the extent to which the dependants of the deceased person may reasonably be expected to benefit from the estate.
