Transfer balance cap overview • What is the transfer balance cap?
• Essentially a limit on the amount of capital an individual can transfer into
retirement phase and use to start a retirement phase income stream.
• The concept of debits and credits in a transfer balance account.
• An individual:
• starts to have a transfer balance account the later of 1 July 2017 or the
day they first start to be a retirement phase income stream recipient
• has a transfer balance at the end of a day i.e. the net amount of all of
their transfer balance account credits and debits at the end of any
particular day.

Consequences of exceeding the cap – Account-based pensions only
• If an individual’s transfer balance exceeds their transfer balance cap at
the end of a day, they will usually have an excess transfer balance
(ETB).
• Their excess transfer balance includes the ETB earnings credited to
their transfer balance account.
• We crystallise these earnings when we issue an ETB determination to
the individual.
• If the individual is rectifying before we issue an ETB determination, they
will need to calculate the ETB earnings themselves.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
5
Consequences of exceeding the cap – Account-based pensions only – cont.
• The individual will need to commute their excess transfer balance.
• If we have sent the individual an ETB determination and they do not
commute in full (including cents) by the due date, we will send their funds
commutation authorities to commute the excess until they are no longer in
excess.
• When an individual is no longer in excess, they will need to pay ETB tax on
the earnings that accrued for the whole of the time they were in excess.

Consequences of exceeding the cap – Capped defined benefit income streams
• If an individual has, or has had, a capped defined benefit income stream
they will only have an ETB if the balance of their transfer balance account
at the end of the day exceeds their:
• transfer balance cap; and
• capped defined benefit balance.
• “Capped defined benefit balance” is the sum of the transfer balance credits
and debits in their transfer balance account from capped defined benefit
income streams.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
7
Consequences of exceeding the cap – Capped defined benefit income streams only • If an individual only has events in their transfer balance account from capped
defined benefit income streams, they will never have an excess transfer balance.
• Where they are receiving income from a capped defined benefit income stream and
are over 60 or under 60 and the income stream is a death benefit income stream
where the member was over 60 at the time of death they may need to include more
pension income in their income tax return and have a reduced entitlement to the
10% pension tax offset.
• In these situations, the fund may have to withhold amounts from their pension and,
even if the amount withheld is nil, the fund has to provide the member and the ATO
with payment summary information. CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
8
Consequences of exceeding the cap – Capped defined benefit income streams and account-based pensions
• If an individual has, or has had, a mix of capped defined benefit income
streams and account-based pensions that exceed their transfer balance
cap, then they will have an excess transfer balance and will need to fully or
partially commute the account-based pension to rectify the excess.
• They may also need to include more pension income in their income tax
return, and have a reduced entitlement to the 10% pension tax offset.

Consequences of exceeding the cap – Account-based pensions and capped defined benefit income streams - Example • June is aged 65 and is receiving a:
• capped defined benefit income stream (special value of $1.5 m) and
• an account-based income stream (value of $500,000).
• June has exceeded her transfer balance cap by $400,000.
• June has an excess transfer balance because the balance of her transfer balance account ($2.0
m) exceeds her transfer balance cap ($1.6 m) and her capped defined benefit balance ($1.5 m).
• June will need to commute the ETB from her account-based income stream.
• If the income June receives from her capped defined benefit income stream exceeds her defined
benefit cap for the year, she may need to include amounts in her assessable income. Her
entitlement to an offset may also be affected. CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting

Transfer balance account credit events funds need to report
• Credit events funds should have already reported:
• Retirement phase income streams that were in existence just before 1
July 2017.
• Credit events that need to be reported:
• Starting a retirement phase income stream on or after 1 July 2017
(including a transition-to-retirement income stream (TRIS) when it
becomes a retirement phase income stream).
• Limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBA) loan repayments
where the LRBA was entered into on or after 1 July 2017 (essentially
SMSFs only).
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
11
Transfer balance account credit events funds need to report – Death benefits • Where a deceased member’s interest is retained within the superannuation system and
cashed to a dependent beneficiary in the form of a death benefit income stream, a credit
arises in the dependent beneficiary’s transfer balance account.
• Non-reversionary death benefit income streams:
• are reported to us in the same way as any other new pension
• the effective date will be the date the individual starts to receive it
• the value of the income stream when it begins to be paid to the individual.
• Reversionary death benefit income streams:
• are reported to us in the same way as any other new pension
• report the date the income stream commenced, i.e. the date of the death of the
member
• the value of the income stream on that day, but
• the credit arises in the individual’s transfer balance account 12 months after the
income stream commences.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
12
Transfer balance account debit events funds need to report
• The debit events funds need to report are:
• any commutation of a retirement phase income stream
• structured settlement contributions (funds also need to report a
structured settlement on or after 1 July 2017 on the TBAR as well as
on the MCS)
• if an income stream stops being in retirement phase.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
13
Transfer balance account debit event - Partial commutations
• Partial commutations – what to remember.
• Decide what the payment is, a commutation or pension payment, before
the payment is made.
• Make sure this decision is documented.
• Ensure that the pension standards will be complied with.
• Partial commutations will no longer count towards the annual minimum
pension payment requirements.
• Failure to comply with pension standards, including annual minimum
pension payment requirements, will have tax consequences for the fund
and transfer balance cap consequences for the member.
• Report the commutation to the ATO on a TBAR. CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
14
Transfer balance account debit event – Income stream stops being in retirement phase
• There are transfer balance cap consequences, and ECPI consequences if an
income stream stops being in the retirement phase.
Example
• A member commenced an account-based pension on 1 July 2017 and received a credit of $1.1 million.
• The fund fails to make the minimum pension payment for the superannuation income stream for that
income year.
• For transfer balance purposes:
• the member continues to have the credit of $1.1 million
• the pension stops being a superannuation income stream as at the end of 30 June 2018 (even
though it is considered to have ceased at the start of the income year for other purposes such as
eligibility for ECPI – see TR 2013/5), and
• a debit arises in the member’s transfer balance account on 30 June 2018 for the value of the
superannuation interest that supported the superannuation income stream just before it ceased to
be a superannuation income stream in the retirement phase.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
15
What funds do NOT need to report
• Pension payments made on or after 1 July 2017.
• Investment earnings, gains and losses that occurred on or after 1 July 2017.
• When a pension ceases because a member dies or the assets supporting the
income stream are exhausted.
• Payments made to a member from their accumulation interest.
• Other events that funds don’t need to report include information reported to the
ATO by an individual using a Transfer balance event notification form. This
includes family payment splits, structured settlement contributions made before 1
July 2007 and a debit event resulting from fraud, dishonesty or bankruptcy.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
16
When SMSFs need to report - most events • When do you test?
• This will be determined 30 June before the SMSF first starts to have a
pension in retirement phase.
• What is the test?
• when a member of the fund has a pre-existing income stream that continued
to be paid as a retirement phase income stream on or after 1 July 2017, the
TBAR due date was on or before 1 July 2018
• where all members of an SMSF have a total superannuation balance of less
than $1 million, report TBAR events annually - when the SAR is due
• if any member of an SMSF has a total superannuation balance of $1 million or
more, report TBAR events quarterly - 28 days after the end of quarter in
which the event happened. CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting

Due dates for reporting
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
18
When SMSFs must report earlier
• If a member exceeds their transfer balance cap, the following events
must be reported sooner:
• a commutation of an income steam in response to an ETB
determination issued to a member. This must be reported within 10
business days after the end of the month in which the commutation
occurred.
• a response to a commutation authority must be reported by the
legislated due date (as specified on the notice), i.e. within 60 days of
the date of issue of the commutation authority.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
19
When SMSFs are encouraged to report earlier
• We encourage SMSFs to report earlier in some circumstances, for
example:
• if you need to correct a reporting error
• if the transitional rules apply
• when a member is rolling their pension over to an APRA fund, or
• where the event significantly changes the risk of the individual
exceeding their transfer balance cap, e.g. they start to receive a
significant death benefit income stream.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
20
What happens if SMSFs report late?
• Late reporting of credit and debit events for SMSFs may cause adverse
consequences. In particular:
• the member may need to commute more and pay more ETB tax
• we may issue an incorrect ETB determination
• we may send a commutation authority to the fund and the member is at
significant risk of having the assets removed from retirement phase twice
• late lodgement penalties may apply
• the member and their advisors will be less able to rely on the information we
display on myGov regarding their transfer balance cap.

Common errors with TBAR reporting
• Incorrect ABN or TFN for the fund or the member.
• Incorrect values.
• Missing information, particularly the date of birth for a member.
• Not including the details of each event reported for the member.
• Reporting that a commutation has been made in response to a
commutation authority even though we have not sent a commutation
authority to the SMSF. A commutation that occurs after we have sent the
member an excess transfer balance determination is NOT a
commutation that has occurred in response to a commutation authority
issued by us.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
23
How to correct reporting errors
• If you need to correct information you have reported to us on a TBAR,
you must cancel the original report and then lodge a separate report with
the correct information.
• If you need to re-report, ensure that you have sent the cancellation
report first.
• If an event was reported in error, you should cancel the event, rather
than reporting the “opposite” event.
• Cancelled events will no longer display on the individuals myGov
account.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
24
Tips and tricks for cancelling incorrect information
• When reporting a cancellation it is critical that the TBAR is clearly a cancellation
of information. The information you provide in the cancellation TBAR must exactly
match the information previously provided on the TBAR.
• Paper:
• lodge a new paper TBAR indicating that this is a cancellation by marking ‘yes’
at section B
• lodge another paper TBAR to report the correct information.
• Spreadsheet:
• lodge a new spreadsheet with the cancellation indicator selected on row 39
• only include in the cancellation TBAR the events you want cancelled
• lodge a new spreadsheet with the correct events and information.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
25
Tips and tricks for cancelling incorrect information – cont.
• Do NOT:
• Lodge a second TBAR just reporting the correct value of the income
stream you have reported to us.
• Lodge a TBAR “ticking” the cancellation indicator on the paper form and
include the correct value of an income stream already reported rather
than cancelling the incorrect information and then reporting the correct
information.
• Report an individual has fully commuted a pension, rather than
cancelling the incorrect information.

Individual has received an ETB determination
• An individual has 60 days to:
• understand why the ATO issued an ETB determination
• understand what they need to do after receiving an ETB determination
• act.

Receiving an ETB determination – What needs to occur
• If an individual receives an ETB determination, they have 60 days in which
to act.
• Choice:
• commute the excess amount from a pension
• seek an extension of time in which to respond
• send an election to the ATO advising which pension to commute. We
will then send a commutation authority to that fund.
• If they commute the excess amount from a pension their fund must
report this to us on a TBAR no later than 10 business days after the end
of the month in which the commutation occurred. CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting

Default commutation notice overview
• The default commutation notice sets out which fund and income stream the
ATO will send a commutation authority to, if the individual does not:
• commute the required amount by the due date, or
• make an election by the due date, asking us to send a commutation
authority to a different fund (or funds) to that indicated at the top of the
commutation notice.
• We will not include a capped defined benefit income stream in the default
commutation notice.

Default commutation notice
We may also send commutation authorities to the other income stream providers if the primary provider is
unable to commute the full excess transfer balance amount.
This is the name of the
primary income stream
provider.
This is the account
number of the primary
income stream.
This is the amount (as shown on
the first page of the notice)
the individual must commute to
bring them under their cap
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
42
Making an excess transfer balance election
• The individual can request us to send a commutation authority to a fund other than the primary
income stream provider shown on the default commutation authority.
• We encourage individuals to voluntarily commute the excess amount as:
• even if they choose to make an early election, we cannot send a commutation authority to a
fund until after the due date. Waiting for us to act will mean they pay more tax.
• they can engage with their fund to determine if they want to retain this amount in super in
accumulation phase or cash it out of the system.
• The individual should lodge an excess transfer balance election form by the due date on the ETB
determination.
• Note: Once an election has been made it is irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn or amended.

CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
If an individual disagrees with their ETB determination
• Firstly, check their transfer balance account details online through myGov.
• They may lodge an objection, however:
• the Commissioner has no discretion for “special circumstances”
• if the individual is contending that the information we have relied on is wrong
or incomplete, we encourage them to talk to their fund
• if information has been reported incorrectly, the fund will need to correct the
information reported to us promptly.
Note: An individual may object to their ETB tax assessment, however if they choose to
object to both the determination and the assessment, they cannot object to the assessment
on grounds they relied on, or could have relied on, when objecting to the determination.
44
Commutation authorities
• We will issue a commutation authority when we have not received
notification in response to an ETB determination that:
• an election form has been lodged within the 60 day period, OR
• the excess has been voluntarily commuted for the full amount as set out
in the determination, including cents.
• The commutation authority will detail:
• the amount the provider must commute from a specified income stream
• the issue date and the due date
• the income stream that must be commuted.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
45 CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
Commutation authorities – cont. • The fund must:
• action the commutation authority unless the member is deceased or the pension
is a capped defined benefit income stream
• report to us by the due date on the commutation authority that it has:
• commuted the amount set out in the authority
• commuted as much as possible, even if it is not the full amount
• not actioned the commutation authority because the member is
deceased
• not actioned the commutation authority because it relates to a capped
defined benefit income stream
• advise the member of its actions.
46
Responding to a commutation authority – Commuting an amount
• When the fund can commute an amount, the trustee should make
reasonable efforts to contact the member and discuss their options.
• If the fund cannot contact the member, they should commute the amount
in a way that is judged to be in the member's best interests.
• Funds DO NOT have authority to commute the member’s income stream
after the due date on the commutation authority.
CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting 47
Responding to a commutation authority – Commuting the full amount
• Funds must commute the full amount set out in the commutation
authority, including cents, when it is possible to do so.
• Funds must do this by the due date on the commutation authority.
• Funds must also lodge a TBAR to tell us they have complied in full.
• Advise the member of the action taken.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting 48
Responding to a commutation authority – Commuting a partial amount
• If a fund can’t commute the full amount stated on the commutation authority
because the amount is higher than the value of the interest supporting the income
stream, they must commute the value of the interest and close the account.
• As part of calculating the value of the interest that can be commuted, they must
take into account any pro-rata minimum pension payments that need to be met.
• They must also lodge a TBAR to tell us they have complied in part.
• If the income stream stated in the commutation authority has already ceased then
they will need to lodge a TBAR by the due date to tell us they have complied in
part, the commutation amount is nil and the account is closed.
CLASSIFIFICATION - Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting 49
Commuting an amount and the pension payment standards
• It is important to ensure that the pension payment standards are met when partially or
fully commuting an income stream.
A member is receiving an income stream valued at $70,000 on 1 July 2018.
On 1 October 2018 we issue the SMSF with a commutation authority for $100,000. The fund is required to commute the amount by 30
November 2018 (within 60 days of issue date).
The member is receiving monthly payments (of $525) and have received $1,575 to date.
The trustee decides to commute the amount on 15 October 2018 and will need to pay the minimum pension amount before making the
commutation.
The minimum annual amount is $6,300 (The member is 86 so their minimum pension payment is 9% of the balance on 1 July 2018)
Therefore the pro-rata amount is: $6,300 (annual amount) x 107 (days in payment period) = $1,850
365 (days in financial year)
The trustee makes another minimum pension payment amount of $275 to ensure that the minimum pension payment standards have
been met up to the date of the commutation.
The remaining $68,150 is commuted and retained in an accumulation account in the SMSF.
The trustee lodges a TBAR reporting that they have complied with the commutation authority in part, a commutation value of $68,150 and
that the account is closed by 30 November 2019.
CLASSIFIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting 50
Commutation authority - A market linked pension that isn’t a capped defined benefit income stream
• A market-linked pension isn’t a capped defined benefit income stream if
it commenced on or after 1 July 2017.
• This type of pension can generally only be commuted to start another
market-linked pension.
• If we issue a commutation authority in relation to one of these income
streams, the maximum commutable release amount will be nil.
• The fund needs to lodge a TBAR by the due date to tell us they have
complied in part, the commutation amount is nil and the account is open.
• This may have consequences for the member.
51
Choosing not to comply with a commutation authority
• A fund can choose not to comply with a commutation authority if:
• it relates to a capped defined benefit income steam, or
• the member is deceased.
• The fund must still lodge a TBAR by the due date to tell us you’re choosing
not to comply and your reasons.
CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
52
Commutation authority – The account number for the pension has changed
• The reference used to identify an income stream may have changed
since the income stream was reported to us.
• In these instances we may send a commutation authority identifying the
income stream that needs to be commuted, which uses the account
number initially reported to us.
• Funds are still required to commute the identified income stream, even
though the reference you use has changed.
CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
53
Commutation authority – What funds need to tell their member
• Funds must notify their member in writing (within 60 days of the issue
date of the commutation authority) when:
• complying with a commutation authority or
• you have chosen not to comply with the commutation authority
because it was in relation to a capped defined benefit income stream.
CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
54
Commutation authority – What funds need to tell their member – cont.
• Funds must include the following information:
• the member's name and address
• the income stream account number in the commutation authority
• the issue date and due date of the commutation authority
• the amount you were required to commute.
• Funds that have commuted an amount in response to the commutation authority
must also include:
• the amount you commuted
• the date of the commutation.
• Funds must also sign the notice you provide your member and declare that the
information it contains is 'true and correct'. CLASSIFICATION – Transfer balance cap and TBAR reporting
55
Commutation authority – Consequences of non-compliance
• If funds do not commute the amount by the due date or tell us why:
• the income stream will stop being in the retirement phase. This will
affect the fund's entitlement to exempt current pension income.
• You may be liable for penalties or subject to compliance action.
• You may be subject to an administrative penalty.

56
Excess transfer balance (ETB) Tax Assessment
• An individual is liable to pay ETB tax if they have an excess transfer
balance at the end of one or more days.
• If an individual is liable for ETB tax, the ATO will issue them with an ETB
tax assessment.
• A individual may NOT have received an ETB determination but may still
receive an ETB tax assessment. This is because they have rectified the
excess before they were assessed for a determination, BUT they are still
liable for ETB tax.
