1. Subject to clauses 3, 4 and 5, the maximum limits mentioned in paragraph 1.05 (4) (f) or 1.06 (4) (e) are determined under the formula:
where:
"AB" means the amount of the annuity account balance, or pension account balance, as the case requires:
(a) on 1 July in the financial year in which the payments are made; or
(b) if that year is the year in which the annuity payments, or pension payments, commence — on the commencement day.
"PVF" means the maximum pension valuation factor set out in Column 3 of the Table in this Schedule in relation to the item in the Table that represents the age of the beneficiary on:
(a) 1 July in the financial year in which the payments are made; or
(b) if that is the year in which the annuity payments, or pension payments, commence — the commencement day.
2. Subject to clauses 3 and 4, the minimum limits mentioned in paragraph 1.05 (4) (f) or 1.06 (4) (e) are determined under the formula:
where:
"AB" means the amount of the annuity account balance, or pension account balance, as the case requires:
(a) on 1 July in the financial year in which the payments are made; or
(b) if that year is the year in which the annuity payments, or pension payments, commence — on the commencement day.
"PVF" means the minimum pension valuation factor set out in Column 4 of the Table in this Schedule in relation to the item in the Table that represents the age of the beneficiary on:
(a) 1 July in the financial year in which the payments are made; or
(b) if that is the year in which the annuity payments, or pension payments, commence — the commencement day.
3. For a calculation of the maximum or minimum limit in the year in which the commencement day of the pension or annuity occurs if that day is a day other than 1 July, the appropriate value set out in Column 3 or Column 4 of the Table in this Schedule as the case requires, must be applied proportionally to the number of days in the financial year that include and follow the commencement day.
4. An amount determined under the formula in clause 1 or clause 2, is rounded to the nearest 10 whole dollars.
5. In a year in which a PVF of 1 is used in calculating the maximum limit under clause 1, payment of the full account balance may be made at any time during the year.
