The tax offset to which the member is entitled is equal to the franking credit on the distribution.

Note 2:
If the member is not a resident, the tax effects of receiving a distribution will be dealt with under Division 11A of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 , and Subdivision 207-D of this Part.
