Superannuation Act 1976

In addition to any requirements in Division 135 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953, the amount of a release authority lump sum must not have the effect that a benefit specified in an election under section 146RC is reduced below zero.

For the purpose of subsection (1), the effect of a release authority lump sum on the amount of a benefit specified in an election under section 146RC is to be worked out after taking account of:

the person’s surcharge deduction amount (if any); and

any reduction under section 79D (which deals with reductions for early release lump sums); and

any reductions under Division 3 of Part IXB (which deals with family law splitting).

Apart from subsection (2), the amount of a release authority lump sum is not to be reduced under any provision of this Act.
