Preamble
Superannuation Contributions Determination SCD 2004/5 explains what is the amount represented by A in the first formula contained within subsection 5(1) of the Superannuation Contributions Tax Imposition Act 1997 and subsection 5(1) of the Termination Payments Tax Imposition Act 1997. Amongst other things, the Superannuation Budget Measures Act 2004 reduces the amount of the surcharge percentage. This Addendum amends SCD 2004/5 to reflect the 'maximum surcharge percentage' for the 2004-2005 financial year as amended by the Superannuation Budget Measures Act 2004.

2. Paragraph 3

Omit the paragraph and substitute:

3. For the 2004-2005 financial year, A is worked out as follows:1
Higher income amount = $121,075

($121,075 - $99,710) / (0.125 * 100)

= $1,709.20000
