Examples of Defined Benefit Income Stream Assessment

Last amended: 13 May 2008

Example 1 - Person over 60, no deductible amount in assessment

Jack, a 62 year old [glossary:service pensioner:245], did not notify of the [glossary:deductible amount:468] for his [glossary:income stream:406] prior to 1 July 2007. The income stream commenced prior to 1 July 2007. Because no deductible amount was recorded under the pre 1 July 2007 rules method, Jack is not covered by the saving provision. From 1 July 2007, the new 1 July 2007 rules method will apply.

Income from Other Investments

Income from financial investments

Income from [glossary:financial investments:437] including cash, deposits accounts, managed investments, listed securities, loans, unlisted securities, gold, silver, platinum bullion, and asset-tested short term income streams is assessed using the [glossary:deeming provisions:256].
