Threshold day (9) Subject to subsection (10), for the purposes of this section, a person's threshold day for an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) is worked out using the following method statement: Method statement Step 1. Work out, in relation to a man aged 65 on the person's assessment day for the income stream, the number of expected years remaining in the man's life, by reference to the instrument in force under subsection (11) on that assessment day, rounded down to the nearest whole number of years. Note: The number of expected years remaining in a 65‑year old man's life is used no matter how old the person is and whether the person is a man or a woman. Step 2. Increase the number of years at step 1 by 65. Step 3. Subject to step 4, the person's threshold day for the income stream is the later of the following days: (a) the day before the person reaches the age in years worked out at step 2; (b) the last day of the 5‑year period beginning on the person's assessment day for the income stream. Step 4. If the income stream is a joint income stream, the person's threshold day for the income stream is the later of the following days: (a) the day before the oldest of the persons, to whom a proportion of the income stream is attributable on the person's assessment day for the income stream, reaches the age in years worked out at step 2; (b) the last day of the 5‑year period beginning on the person's assessment day for the income stream. (10) If: (a) an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) reverts to a person as a reversionary beneficiary on the death of another person; and (b) before the death of the other person, the other person's assessment day for the income stream had occurred; then: (c) if, before the death of the other person, the other person's threshold day for the income stream had not occurred—the reversionary beneficiary's threshold day for the income stream is taken to be the day that would have been the other person's threshold day if the other person had not died; and (d) if, before the death of the other person, the other person's threshold day for the income stream had occurred—the reversionary beneficiary's threshold day for the income stream is taken to be the other person's threshold day; and (e) if the reversionary beneficiary's assessment day for the income stream worked out under subsection (7) is on or after the reversionary beneficiary's threshold day for the income stream worked out under paragraph (c) or (d) of this subsection: (i) paragraph (3)(a) is taken not to apply to the reversionary beneficiary and the income stream; and (ii) paragraph (3)(b) is taken to apply to the reversionary beneficiary and the income stream for a day that is on or after the reversionary beneficiary's assessment day for the income stream. (11) The Secretary may make a notifiable instrument for the purposes of step 1 of the method statement in subsection (9). If there are Life Tables published by the Australian Government Actuary, the Secretary must be satisfied that the instrument is consistent with the latest of those Life Tables. Purchase amount (12) For the purposes of this section, the purchase amount for the income stream is: (a) subject to paragraph (b)—if one or more amounts have been paid for the income stream—the sum of: (i) each compounded amount in relation to an amount paid for the income stream before the person's assessment day for the income stream, as worked out under subsection (13); and (ii) each amount paid for the income stream on or after that assessment day; less any commuted amounts; or (b) if the circumstances determined in an instrument under subsection (15) apply in relation to the income stream—the amount worked out in accordance with that instrument. (13) A compounded amount in relation to an amount paid for the income stream before the person's assessment day for the income stream is worked out by applying the following formula for each relevant adjustment day (from the earliest to the latest): where: compounded amount for the relevant adjustment day means: (a) for the earliest relevant adjustment day—the amount that was paid for the income stream; or (b) for each later relevant adjustment day—the result of applying the formula for the most recent earlier relevant adjustment day. relevant above threshold rate for the relevant adjustment day means: (a) if the relevant adjustment day is a 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day—the rate applicable under subsection 1082(2) for that relevant adjustment day, expressed as a decimal fraction; or (b) if the relevant adjustment day is the assessment day—the amount worked out in accordance with the following formula: relevant adjustment day means each of the following: (a) each 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day that happens before the person's assessment day; (b) the person's assessment day. Note: For assessment day, see subsections (6) and (7). relevant number of days means the number of days in the period: (a) beginning on the day after: (i) if the assessment day is at least 12 months after the relevant payment day—the most recent 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day; or (ii) otherwise—the relevant payment day; and (b) ending at the end of the assessment day. relevant payment day means the day that the amount was paid for the income stream. (14) If the income stream is a joint income stream, then, for the purposes of applying subsections (12) and (13) to the person and to a day covered by subsection (1), an amount paid for the income stream is taken to be that amount multiplied by the proportion of the income stream attributable to the person on that day. (15) The Secretary may make a legislative instrument for the purposes of paragraph (12)(b). 37 After subsection 1121(3B) Insert: (3C) Subsection (1) does not apply to an asset that is an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime). 38 After section 1121A Insert: 1121B Value of life policy (1) This section applies in relation to a person and a day (the assessment day) if: (a) the person has reached pension age; and (b) the person is the owner (within the meaning of subsection 10(2) of the Life Insurance Act 1995) of a life policy covered by paragraph 9(1)(a) or (b) of that Act; and (c) the person became the owner of the policy after the person reached pension age; and (d) the sum of each amount paid for the policy (regardless of who paid the amount) in any period of 12 months exceeds 15% of the maximum death benefit that would be payable in the event of the death of the person whose life is insured on the assessment day. (2) The value of the life policy on the assessment day is, for the purposes of the assets test, the higher of the following: (a) the amount that would be payable to the person covered by paragraph (1)(b) if the policy were surrendered on that day; (b) the sum of each amount paid for the policy by the person covered by paragraph (1)(b), less any commuted amounts. 39 Application provisions (1) The amendment made by item 9 applies in relation to a payment made on or after the commencement of this item.

Note: For asset‑tested income stream (lifetime), see subsection 5J(1). (2) However, this section does not apply to a family law affected income stream. Note: For family law affected income streams, see section 52BA. Value of income stream (3) Subject to this section, the value of the person's income stream is, for the purposes of the assets test, the purchase amount for the income stream. Purchase amount (4) For the purposes of this section, the purchase amount for the income stream is: (a) subject to paragraph (b)—if one or more amounts have been paid for the income stream, the sum of each compounded amount in relation to an amount paid for the income stream, as worked out under subsection (5), less any commuted amounts; or (b) if the circumstances determined in an instrument under subsection (7) apply in relation to the income stream—the amount worked out in accordance with that instrument. (5) A compounded amount in relation to an amount paid for the income stream is worked out by applying the following formula for each relevant adjustment day (from the earliest to the latest): where: compounded amount for the relevant adjustment day means: (a) for the earliest relevant adjustment day—the amount that was paid for the income stream; or (b) for each later relevant adjustment day—the result of applying the formula for the most recent earlier relevant adjustment day. relevant above threshold rate for the relevant adjustment day means the following: (a) if the relevant adjustment day is the relevant payment day—zero; (b) if the relevant adjustment day is a 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day—the rate applicable under subsection 46J(2) for that relevant adjustment day, expressed as a decimal fraction. relevant adjustment day means each of the following: (a) the relevant payment day; (b) each 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day. relevant payment day means the day that the amount was paid for the income stream. (6) If the income stream is a joint income stream, then, for the purposes of applying subsections (4) and (5) to the person and to a day covered by subsection (1), an amount paid for the income stream is taken to be that amount multiplied by the proportion of the income stream attributable to the person on that day. (7) The Commission may make a legislative instrument for the purposes of paragraph (4)(b). 52BAB Value of asset‑tested income streams (lifetime) that are not managed investments (1) This section applies to a person's asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) in relation to a day that is on or after the person's assessment day for the income stream. Note 1: For asset‑tested income stream (lifetime), see subsection 5J(1). For assessment day, see subsections (6) and (7) of this section.

Value of income stream (3) Subject to this section, the value of the person's income stream is, for the purposes of the assets test, worked out as follows: (a) for a day in the period beginning on the person's assessment day for the income stream and ending at the end of the person's threshold day for the income stream: (b) for a day after the person's threshold day for the income stream: Note: For threshold day, see subsections (10) and (11). For purchase amount, see subsection (13). (4) The Commission may, by legislative instrument, determine one or more methods for working out the value of an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) for persons to whom this section applies. (5) If one or more amounts worked out in accordance with the instrument are higher than the amount under subsection (3), then the value of the person's income stream is, for the purposes of the assets test, the highest of those amounts. Assessment day (6) Subject to subsection (7), for the purposes of this section, a person's assessment day for an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) is: (a) if the income stream arises under arrangements that are regulated by the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993—the latest of the following: (i) the day the person first satisfies a condition of release that is mentioned in regulations under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and is of a kind determined in an instrument under subsection (9); (ii) the day the first amount was paid for the income stream; (iii) the day the person acquired the income stream (if no amount is identifiable as having been paid for the income stream); or (b) otherwise: (i) if the commencement day in relation to the income stream is before the day the person reaches pension age—the commencement day in relation to the income stream; or (ii) in any other case—the latest of the day the first amount was paid for the income stream, the day the person reaches pension age and the day the person acquired the income stream (if no amount is identifiable as having been paid for the income stream). Note: For commencement day, see subsection 5J(1). For pension age, see section 5Q. (7) For the purposes of this section, a person's assessment day for an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) that reverted to the person as a reversionary beneficiary is: (a) if the income stream reverted to the person on or after the commencement day in relation to the income stream—the day of the reversion; or (b) if the income stream reverted to the person before the commencement day in relation to the income stream and the income stream arises under arrangements that are regulated by the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993: (i) if the commencement day in relation to the income stream is before the day the person first satisfies a condition of release that is mentioned in regulations under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and is of a kind determined in an instrument under subsection (9)—the commencement day in relation to the income stream; or (ii) in any other case—the later of the day of the reversion and the day the person first satisfies a condition of release that is mentioned in regulations under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 and is of a kind determined in an instrument under subsection (9); or (c) if the income stream reverted to the person before the commencement day in relation to the income stream and the income stream does not arise under arrangements that are regulated by the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993: (i) if the commencement day in relation to the income stream is before the day the person reaches pension age—the commencement day in relation to the income stream; or (ii) in any other case—the later of the day of the reversion and the day the person reaches pension age. Note: For commencement day, see subsection 5J(1). For pension age, see section 5Q. (8) For the purposes of the application of subsection (6) or (7) in relation to income support supplement, the references in that subsection to pension age are taken to be references to qualifying age. Note: For qualifying age, see section 5Q. (9) The Commission may, by notifiable instrument, determine a kind of condition of release for the purposes of subparagraphs (6)(a)(i) and (7)(b)(i) and (ii). Threshold day (10) Subject to subsection (11), for the purposes of this section, a person's threshold day for an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) is worked out using the following method statement: Method statement Step 1. Work out, in relation to a man aged 65 on the person's assessment day for the income stream, the number of expected years remaining in the man's life, by reference to the instrument in force under subsection (12) on that assessment day, rounded down to the nearest whole number of years. Note: The number of expected years remaining in a 65‑year old man's life is used no matter how old the person is and whether the person is a man or a woman. Step 2. Increase the number of years at step 1 by 65. Step 3. Subject to step 4, the person's threshold day for the income stream is the later of the following days: (a) the day before the person reaches the age in years worked out at step 2; (b) the last day of the 5‑year period beginning on the person's assessment day for the income stream. Step 4. If the income stream is a joint income stream, the person's threshold day for the income stream is the later of the following days: (a) the day before the oldest of the persons, to whom a proportion of the income stream is attributable on the person's assessment day for the income stream, reaches the age in years worked out at step 2; (b) the last day of the 5‑year period beginning on the person's assessment day for the income stream. (11) If: (a) an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime) reverts to a person as a reversionary beneficiary on the death of another person; and (b) before the death of the other person, the other person's assessment day for the income stream had occurred; then: (c) if, before the death of the other person, the other person's threshold day for the income stream had not occurred—the reversionary beneficiary's threshold day for the income stream is taken to be the day that would have been the other person's threshold day if the other person had not died; and (d) if, before the death of the other person, the other person's threshold day for the income stream had occurred—the reversionary beneficiary's threshold day for the income stream is taken to be the other person's threshold day; and (e) if the reversionary beneficiary's assessment day for the income stream worked out under subsection (7) is on or after the reversionary beneficiary's threshold day for the income stream worked out under paragraph (c) or (d) of this subsection: (i) paragraph (3)(a) is taken not to apply to the reversionary beneficiary and the income stream; and (ii) paragraph (3)(b) is taken to apply to the reversionary beneficiary and the income stream for a day that is on or after the reversionary beneficiary's assessment day for the income stream. (12) The Commission may make a notifiable instrument for the purposes of step 1 of the method statement in subsection (10). If there are Life Tables published by the Australian Government Actuary, the Commission must be satisfied that the instrument is consistent with the latest of those Life Tables. Purchase amount (13) For the purposes of this section, the purchase amount for the income stream is: (a) subject to paragraph (b)—if one or more amounts have been paid for the income stream—the sum of: (i) each compounded amount in relation to an amount paid for the income stream before the person's assessment day for the income stream, as worked out under subsection (14); and (ii) each amount paid for the income stream on or after that assessment day; less any commuted amounts; or (b) if the circumstances determined in an instrument under subsection (16) apply in relation to the income stream—the amount worked out in accordance with that instrument. (14) A compounded amount in relation to an amount paid for the income stream before the person's assessment day for the income stream is worked out by applying the following formula for each relevant adjustment day (from the earliest to the latest): where: compounded amount for the relevant adjustment day means: (a) for the earliest relevant adjustment day—the amount that was paid for the income stream; or (b) for each later relevant adjustment day—the result of applying the formula for the most recent earlier relevant adjustment day. relevant above threshold rate for the relevant adjustment day means: (a) if the relevant adjustment day is a 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day—the rate applicable under subsection 46J(2) for that relevant adjustment day, expressed as a decimal fraction; or (b) if the relevant adjustment day is the assessment day—the amount worked out in accordance with the following formula: relevant adjustment day means each of the following: (a) each 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day that happens before the person's assessment day; (b) the person's assessment day. Note: For assessment day, see subsections (6) and (7). relevant number of days means the number of days in the period: (a) beginning on the day after: (i) if the assessment day is at least 12 months after the relevant payment day—the most recent 12‑month anniversary of the relevant payment day; or (ii) otherwise—the relevant payment day; and (b) ending at the end of the assessment day. relevant payment day means the day that the amount was paid for the income stream. (15) If the income stream is a joint income stream, then, for the purposes of applying subsections (13) and (14) to the person and to a day covered by subsection (1), an amount paid for the income stream is taken to be that amount multiplied by the proportion of the income stream attributable to the person on that day. (16) The Commission may make a legislative instrument for the purposes of paragraph (13)(b). 78 After subsection 52C(3B) Insert: (3C) Subsection (1) does not apply to an asset that is an asset‑tested income stream (lifetime). 79 After section 52CA Insert: 52CB Value of life policy (1) This section applies in relation to a person and a day (the assessment day) if: (a) the person has reached: (i) pension age; or (ii) in relation to income support supplement—qualifying age; and (b) the person is the owner (within the meaning of subsection 10(2) of the Life Insurance Act 1995) of a life policy covered by paragraph 9(1)(a) or (b) of that Act; and (c) the person became the owner of the policy after the person reached that age; and (d) the sum of each amount paid for the policy (regardless of who paid the amount) in any period of 12 months exceeds 15% of the maximum death benefit that would be payable in the event of the death of the person whose life is insured on the assessment day. Note: For pension age and qualifying age, see section 5Q. (2) The value of the life policy on the assessment day is, for the purposes of the assets test, the higher of the following: (a) the amount that would be payable to the person covered by paragraph (1)(b) if the policy were surrendered on that day; (b) the sum of each amount paid for the policy by the person covered by paragraph (1)(b), less any commuted amounts. 80 Application provisions (1) The amendment made by item 49 applies in relation to a payment made on or after the commencement of this item.
