  2. Each beneficiary is only counted once regardless of the number of entitlements received for the quarter.
  3. The total amount recovered includes amounts overpaid as a result of a subsequent amendment to an individual’s income tax assessment or a change to the superannuation contributions reported for that individual.
  4. The total amounts of LISTO entitlements made and recovered are rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
