PENSIONS TAX FREE COMPONENT CALCULATION

Pensions that were started before 1 July 2007 require the tax free component to be calculated at a trigger event, and the proportional rule (not the fixed dollar deduct-ible amount approach) to be used for all subsequent pension pay-ments. A trigger event is being 60 or over at 1 July 2007, turning age 60, death, or partial or full commutation. We have developed a technical note to assist administrators with this calculation for defined pensions. A penalty applies if this task is not com-pleted in the time specified by the Regulator.

Actuaries are experts in assessing the financial impact of uncertain events. The training undertaken by actuaries in mathematics, statistics and financial matters allows them to contribute to solutions in a wide range of business problems and issues. Actuarial tasks often involve the practical application of probability, present values, finance, statistics and computing.

Most actuarial tasks involve analysing the past, modelling the future, assessing the risks involved and communicating what the results mean in financial terms to the client.
