INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 295.10

How to work out the tax payable by superannuation entities

  (1)   Use this method for * superannuation funds, * approved deposit funds and * pooled superannuation trusts:

Method statement

Step 1.   For a * superannuation fund, work out the * no - TFN contributions income. Apply the applicable rates as set out in the Income Tax Rates Act 1986 to that income.

Step 2.   Work out the entity's assessable income and deductions taking account of the special rules in this Division. The special rules modify some provisions of this Act. They also include amounts in assessable income, allow deductions and exempt amounts from income tax.

Step 3.   Work out the entity's taxable income as if its trustee:

  (a)   were an Australian resident (except where paragraph   (b) applies); or

  (b)   for a * non - complying superannuation fund that is a * foreign superannuation fund for the income year--were not an Australian resident.

Step 4.   For a * complying superannuation entity, work out the * low tax component and * non - arm's length component of the entity's taxable income.

Step 5.   Apply the applicable rates as set out in the Income Tax Rates Act 1986 to:

  (a)   if step 4 applies to the entity--the components worked out under that step; or

  (b)   otherwise--the entity's taxable income.

Step 6.   Subtract the entity's * tax offsets from the step 5 amount or, for a * superannuation fund, from the sum of the fund's step 1 and step 5 amounts.

  (2)   Use this method for * RSA providers:

Method statement

Step 1.   Work out the entity's * no - TFN contributions income. Apply the applicable rates as set out in the Income Tax Rates Act 1986 to that income.

Step 2.   Work out the entity's assessable income and deductions taking account of the special rules in this Division.

Step 3.   Work out the * RSA component and * standard component of the entity's taxable income.

Step 5.   Apply the applicable rates as set out in the Income Tax Rates Act 1986 to the components. The * RSA component is taxed at a concessional rate.

Step 6.   Subtract the entity's * tax offsets from the sum of the entity's step 1 and step 5 amounts.
