Subdivision AA—RSA providers 116DAA Overview
This Subdivision sets out how to calculate the taxable income of an RSA provider that is a life assurance company and the components of that taxable income.

Note: Other RSAs are covered by Division 7A of Part IX.

116DAB RSA amount of taxable income
The taxable income of an RSA provider that is a life assurance company includes all taxable contributions made during the year of income, to RSAs provided by the RSA provider.

116DAC Calculation of RSA amount
(1)
This section sets out how to calculate the RSA amount of an RSA provider's general fund component.

(2)
The RSA amount of an RSA provider is the sum of:

(a)
all taxable contributions made; and
(b)
other amounts (other than contributions) credited;

during the year of income, to RSAs provided by the RSA provider, reduced by any amounts paid from the RSA other than benefits paid to, or in respect of, the holder of the RSA.

(3)
In calculating the RSA amount, any amount of tax paid in respect of an RSA is taken not to have been an amount paid from the RSA.

(4)
In calculating the sum, the amounts set out in subsections (5) and (6) are taken not to have been credited.

(5)
Amounts credited to an RSA where an annuity was paid from the RSA in respect of so much of the year of income as the RSA existed.

(6)
Where an annuity was being paid from an RSA, in respect of a part, but not the whole, of so much of the year of income as the RSA existed, amounts worked out using the following formula:

116DAD Components of general fund component
(1)
The general fund component of an RSA provider that is a life assurance company is divided into the RSA component and the standard component .

(2)
The RSA component is equal to the RSA amount worked out under section 116DAC.

(3)
The standard component is the amount (if any) remaining after deducting the RSA component from the general fund component.

116DADA Taxable income and amount of components in certain cases
(1)
This section applies if:

(a)
an RSA provider has no taxable income; or
(b)
the RSA provider has no general fund component; or
(c)
the general fund component of an RSA provider is less than the RSA amount.
(2)
If, apart from this subsection, an RSA provider has no taxable income, or the taxable income is less than the RSA amount:

(a)
the RSA provider is taken to have both a taxable income and a tax loss in relation to the year of income; and
(b)
the taxable income is taken to equal the RSA amount; and
(c)
the tax loss is taken to be the amount that would have been the RSA provider's tax loss if the RSA amount were not income derived; and
(d)
the general fund component and the RSA component of that component are taken to be equal to the RSA amount; and
(e)
all other components of taxable income are taken to be nil.
(3)
If, apart from this subsection, the taxable income of an RSA provider is equal to or greater than the RSA amount:

(a)
the general fund component and the RSA component of that component are taken to be equal to the RSA amount; and
(b)
an amount equal to the difference between the RSA amount and the amount that would, apart from this subsection, have been the general fund component is to be applied in reducing the other components of taxable income in the following order:
(i)
if the RSA provider is an ordinary life assurance company—AD/RLA;
(ii)
CS/RA;
(iii)
NCS.
116DAE Deductions from assessable income of RSA providers
No deduction is allowable in respect of amounts credited to RSAs.

116DAF Exempt income of RSA providers
Any amounts that, but for the operation of subsection 116DAC(3), would have been taken into account under paragraph 116DAC(2)(b) in calculating the RSA component of the RSA provider's general fund component for the year of income, are exempt.

Division 7A—RSA providers 299A Overview
This Division sets out how to calculate the taxable income of an RSA provider, other than one that is a life assurance company.

Note: RSA providers that are life assurance companies are covered by Division 8 of Part III.

299B RSA amount of taxable income
The taxable income of an RSA provider (other than a life assurance company) includes all taxable contributions made during the year of income to RSAs provided by the RSA provider.

299C Calculation of RSA amount
(1)
This section sets out how to calculate the RSA amount of an RSA provider's taxable income.

(2)
The RSA amount is the sum of:

(a)
all taxable contributions made; and
(b)
other amounts (other than contributions) credited;

during the year of income, to RSAs provided by the RSA provider, reduced by any amounts paid from the RSA other than benefits paid to, or in respect of, the holder of the RSA.

(3)
In calculating the RSA amount, any amount of tax paid in respect of an RSA is taken not to have been an amount paid from the RSA.

(4)
In calculating the sum, the amounts set out in subsections (5) and (6) are taken not to have been credited.

(5)
Amounts credited to an RSA where a pension was paid from the RSA in respect of so much of the year of income as the RSA existed.

(6)
Where a pension was being paid from an RSA, in respect of a part, but not the whole, of so much of the year of income as the RSA existed, amounts worked out using the following formula:

299CA Taxable income in certain cases
If, apart from this section:

(a)
the taxable income of an RSA provider is less than the RSA amount; or
(b)
the RSA provider has no taxable income;

then:

(c)
the RSA provider is taken to have both a taxable income and a tax loss in relation to the year of income; and
(d)
the taxable income is taken to equal the RSA amount; and
(e)
the tax loss is taken to be the amount that would have been the RSA provider's tax loss if the RSA amount were not income derived.
299D Components of taxable income
(1)
The taxable income of an RSA provider (other than a life assurance company) is divided into the RSA component and the standard component .

(2)
The RSA component is equal to the RSA amount worked out under section 299C.

(3)
The standard component is the amount (if any) remaining after deducting the RSA component from the taxable income.

299E Deductions from assessable income of RSA providers
(1)
Any amounts paid, during a year of income, as premiums for an insurance policy that is wholly to provide death or disability benefits under RSAs provided by the RSA provider are allowable as deductions in calculating the taxable income for the year of income of the RSA provider.

(2)
No deduction is allowable in respect of amounts withdrawn from, or benefits paid in relation to, RSAs.

(3)
No deduction is allowable for amounts credited to RSAs.

299F Clawback of rebates or refunds of deductible premiums
(1)
If an RSA provider receives in a year of income a rebate or refund of a premium which has, in whole or in part, been allowed or is allowable as a deduction under subsection 299E(1), so much of that rebate or refund as is attributable to that deduction is to be included in the assessable income of the RSA provider for the year of income.

(2)
Nothing in subsection (1) limits the circumstances in which other rebates or refunds are included in the assessable income.

299G Exempt income of RSA providers
Any amounts that, but for the operation of subsection 299C(4), would have been taken into account under paragraph 299C(2)(b) in calculating the RSA component of the RSA provider's income for the year of income are exempt.
