Each trustee of a superannuation entity (other than the trustee of a pooled superannuation trust or a self managed superannuation fund) must ensure that rules are established, which:

set out a procedure for identifying when a member of the superannuation entity has more than one superannuation account in the superannuation entity; and

 b

require the trustee to carry out the procedure to identify such members at least once each financial year; and

 c

if the member has 2 or more superannuation accounts in the superannuation entity—require the trustee to merge the accounts so that the member has only one account balance in respect of those accounts, if the trustee reasonably believes that it is in the best interests of the member to do so; and

 d

 61-15 Cases involving more than one spouse 1

Despite paragraph 61-10(1)(a), if, during a period comprising some or all of the year, there are 2 or more individuals who are your *spouse, you are taken, for the purposes of section 61-10, only to contribute to the maintenance of the spouse with whom you reside during that period.

is more than the amount specified in subclause 28B(1) of Schedule 1 to the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999, as indexed under Part 2 of Schedule 4 to that Act.

 3

If you had a different *spouse during different parts of the year, include the *adjusted taxable income for offsets of each spouse under paragraph (1)(b) and subsection (2).

 ii

clause 31 of Schedule 1 to that Act does not apply in respect of the Part B rate.

 61-30 Amount of the dependant (invalid and carer) tax offset

Note 2: The amount of the tax offset may be reduced by the application, in order, of sections 61-35 to 61-45.

 61-35 Families with shared care percentages 1

 a

your entitlement to the tax offset is based on the other individual being your spouse during the year; and

 b

(b) during a period (the shared care period) comprising the whole or part of the year:

 i

(i) you, or your *spouse while being your partner (within the meaning of the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999), was eligible for family tax benefit at the Part B rate within the meaning of that Act; and
