(a) if the ETP relates to employment in which the taxpayer was engaged on 30 June 1983-the amount of an ETP that could, in the Commissioner's opinion, reasonably be expected to have been made in relation to the taxpayer in consequence of the termination of that employment if that employment had been terminated on that date;

(b) if the ETP relates to membership of the taxpayer of a superannuation fund on 30 June 1983-the amount of an ETP that could, in the Commissioner's opinion, reasonably be expected to have been made in relation to the taxpayer from the fund in consequence of the termination of the taxpayer's membership of the fund if that membership had been terminated on that date;

(c) any previous application in relation to the taxpayer of:

(i) this subsection; or

(Untaxed element of retained amount of post-June 83 component)

"(5) For the purposes of this Subdivision, the untaxed element of the retained amount of the post-June 83 component is the untaxed element of the post-June 83 component, reduced by so much of that element as has been rolled-over.

(Increased subparagraph (2)(d)(i) amount-further reduction of subsection (5) amount)

"(6) If, under subsection (3), the Commissioner increases the amount calculated under subparagraph (2)(d)(i) in relation to an ETP, the amount calculated under subsection (5) is to be further reduced:

(a) if the amount of the increase does not exceed the amount calculated under subsection (5)-by the amount of the increase; or

(b) if the amount of the increase exceeds the amount calculated under subsection (5)-to 0.

(Retained amounts where subsection 27AA(3) applies)

"(7) If subsection 27AA(3) applies in relation to an ETP, subsection (2) of this section has effect as if the amounts calculated in relation to the ETP under paragraphs (2)(d) and (e) were both 0.".
