Step 1.

Subdivide the *taxable component of the *superannuation lump sum (the original benefit ) into 2 notional superannuation lump sums as follows:

  • (a) the amount sourced from contributions made into a *superannuation fund or earnings on such contributions (the fund benefit );
  • (b) the remainder of the taxable component of the lump sum (the non-fund benefit ).

  • Step 2.

    The fund benefit consists of an element taxed in the fund , an element untaxed in the fund , or both, as worked out under this Subdivision.


    Step 3.

    The non-fund benefit consists wholly of an element untaxed in the fund .

    The element taxed in the fund of the original benefit equals the element taxed in the fund of the fund benefit.


    Step 5.

    The element untaxed in the fund of the original benefit is the sum of the elements untaxed in the fund worked out under steps 2 and 3.
