SECTION 307-205.01A   HOW TO CALCULATE THE VALUE OF A RETIREMENT BENEFIT FOR STEP 1 OF THE METHOD IN SUBSECTION 307-205.01(2)  

307-205.01A(1)    
This section sets out how to calculate the value of a retirement benefit for the purposes of step 1 of the method in subsection 307-205.01(2) .

307-205.01A(2)    
If the retirement benefit depends upon the member ' s age, service or salary, or upon the employer ' s consent, the value is to be calculated on the assumption that:

(a)    the member ' s service was the member ' s actual service immediately before 1 July 2007; and

(b)    the member ' s age was the greater of:


(i) the minimum age at which a retirement benefit could be taken without requiring the employer ' s consent; and

(ii) the member ' s actual age immediately before 1 July 2007; and

(c)    the member ' s salary was the member ' s salary for superannuation purposes immediately before 1 July 2007; and

(d)    the employer consents to the retirement.

307-205.01A(3)    
If part or all of the retirement benefit can be paid as a superannuation income stream, then the value of that income stream is determined as the product of:

(a)    the annual rate of the superannuation income stream that would have been paid had the maximum proportion of the benefit possible been taken as an income stream; and

(b)    the applicable factor for the superannuation income stream that would have been paid set out in clause 1 of Schedule 1B .

307-205.01A(4)    
The total value of the retirement benefit is the sum of:

(a)    the value of the superannuation income stream so determined; and

(b)    any lump sum that would have been payable under the assumptions described above had the member taken the maximum possible proportion of the member ' s benefit as an income stream.

307-205.01A(5)    
If the superannuation benefit can only be paid as a lump sum, then the value of the retirement benefit is the amount of that lump sum.
