X1 Accumulation phase value

Last updated 29 March 2021

It is now conditional as to whether you provide for each member their 30 June accumulation phase value. The accumulation phase value is the total amount of the superannuation benefits that would become payable if the member voluntarily caused the interest to cease.

The accumulation phase value is often less than the value at S1 Accumulation phase account balance as the costs to cease the interest are subtracted from the account balance.

You may provide an accumulation phase value if your accumulation phase account balance does not equal your accumulation phase value.

You must provide an accumulation phase value where the difference between the accumulation phase value and the accumulation phase account balance is not limited to the value of the administration and exit fees and realisation costs if the member was to voluntarily cease the interest.

If you provide the accumulation phase value, we will use it to work out the total superannuation balance for the member and we will no longer use S1 Accumulation phase account balance for that calculation.

X2 Retirement phase value

It is now conditional as to whether you provide for each member their 30 June retirement phase value. The retirement phase value is the total amount of the superannuation benefits that would become payable from retirement phase accounts (non-CDBIS only) if the member voluntarily caused the interest to cease.

The retirement phase value is often less than the value at S2 Retirement phase account balance – non CDBIS as the costs to cease the interest are subtracted from the account balance.

You may provide a retirement phase value if your retirement phase account balance does not equal your retirement phase value.

You must provide a retirement phase value where the difference between the retirement phase value and the value at S2 Retirement phase account balance – non CDBIS is not limited to the value of the administration and exit fees and realisation costs if the member was to voluntarily cease the interest.

If you provide the retirement phase value, we will use it to work out the total superannuation balance for the member and we will no longer use S2 Retirement phase account balance – non CDBIS for that calculation.

Total superannuation balance

We will use the amount you enter at S1, S2, X1 and X2 to calculate the total superannuation balance for each of the members.

From 1 July 2018 the member’s total superannuation balance may impact upon their non-concessional contributions cap and affect other superannuation measures.
