15. Definitions and interpretation


15.1 The following words have these meanings in this Agreement unless the contrary intention appears.
Agreement means this Agreement as it may be amended from time to time by written agreement between the parties.
Annual Renewal Fee means the fee designated as such in the Invoice, as amended by HandiSoft from time to time in accordance with
clause 8.3.
Authorised Distributor means an entity appointed by HandiSoft to maintain and support the Software and Documentation.
Balance means the residue of the Licence Fees payable after the deduction of the Deposit.
Deposit means the agreed amount of the Licence Fees initially payable in accordance with the Invoice.
Documentation means all manuals, handbooks, and other material, whether in hard copy or electronic form, in relation to the
Software and its use, and provided by HandiSoft under this Agreement.
Licence Fees means the total fees specified in the Invoice.
HandiSoft means HandiSoft Software Pty Limited ABN 91 089 780 218.
Intellectual Property Rights means all intellectual property rights of whatever nature including all rights conferred under statute,
common law or equity, including, without limitation, all copyrights, patent rights, trade mark rights, design rights, trade secrets, and
all other intellectual property as defined in Article 2 of the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organisation of
July 1967.
Licence Fee means the fee designated as such in the Invoice.
Index File is an unlock key which allows access to the nominated Software modules and specified number of concurrent network
Users to access the Software.
Invoice means HandiSoft’s or the Authorised Distributor’s standard form invoice as sent to you in relation to your ordering of the
Software or Updates.
Site means the geographical location of access address specified in the Invoice.
Software means the object code version of the suite of computer programs known as the ‘HandiSoft Software’, as detailed in the
Invoice and includes any Updates provided to you under this Agreement.
Updates means an executable file that modifies the Software by correcting bugs or errors, or by making minor improvements to the
functionality of the Software, and includes new versions of the Software which HandiSoft generally makes available to licencees of
the Software that have entered into an agreement with HandiSoft and paid the relevant Annual Renewal Fee. Updates do not include
any new products, including new products based on the Software, which are licensed separately, and for which an additional charge,
separate to the Annual Renewal Fee, is payable.
User means a person accessing any part or all of the Software at any given point in time. For the avoidance of doubt, any background
tasks created or spawned by an individual user is not to be treated as a separate user. If, however, a background task or process created
by a particular individual user is still running then that individual user is deemed to be accessing the Software at that point in time.
15.2 In this Agreement unless the contrary intention appears:
(i) the singular includes the plural and vice versa;
(ii) a reference to a statute, ordinance, code or other law includes regulations and other instruments under it and consolidations,
amendments, re-enactments or replacements of any of them; and
(iii) a reference to "you" is a reference to the customer specified in the Invoice.
15.3 Any marginal notes or headings are included for convenience and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Information regarding additional agents


To protect your interests we wish to clarify several situations where you need to exercise care:
The licence entitles a single accounting practice to install and operate the Software for one site of access. At that one site of access, you may
operate the Software at the same time subject to the limits of the total number of concurrent network user licences you have purchased for use
during the Term. To clarify:
You must purchase the nominated Software for each site of access. For example, if you had two branches (Sydney and Melbourne) and the
software was installed only at Sydney, and the Melbourne branch remotely accesses the Sydney installation, then you must purchase the
nominated Software twice.
If your practice shares offices with another accounting practice, and the practices are not in partnership, both accounting practices must purchase
the nominated Software in their own right. This is the case, even where you share a common computer system.
Where a client purchases an additional tax agent reference number, this is not an additional licence. It is simply an addition to your program to
lodge tax returns under another tax agent name and number. It in no way allows you, the licence holder, to give a copy of the Software to the
additional tax agent. You are not permitted to purchase the Software with an additional tax agent reference number for use by another tax agent
without Sage's written consent.

Chapter 1. Installing and configuring SuperFund 2009

SuperFund 2009 is a practice-level program for preparing compliance accounts for non-reporting self
managed superannuation funds.
SuperFund 2009 has been designed specifically for integration with HandiTax 2009 and HandiLedger
2009.
SuperFund 2009 enables you to do the following:
• Control distributions to member’s accounts of 'benefits accrued as a result of operations' (before and
after income tax), specific expenses and specific income allocation, including income from
segregated assets.
• Determine Account Based, Allocated or Market Linked Pension minimum and maximum values and
deductible amounts.
• Reconcile and control all movements in each member's Preserved, Restricted Non-preserved and
Unrestricted Non-Preserved accounts, as required by legislation.
• Produce journal entries for member’s account distributions, member’s additional information
journals and tax reconciliation notes.
• Prepare Net Market values of all types of Investments, including Real Property valuations.
• Check statutory compliance areas - Investment Strategy, SGC compliance, contribution deductibility
rules, contribution limit rules, In-house assets, Lifetime CGT Caps.
• Integrate with HandiTax to prepare the Superannuation Fund income tax returns, supporting Trust
Distributions, Interest, Dividends, Franking Credits, Foreign tax credits, Tax Rebates, TFN credits
and PAYG instalments.
• Calculate “Eligible Service Period” data for members up to crystallisation date (Year ended 30th
June 2007).
The HandiSoft Software Suite shares client information and transaction data between programs. For
example, if a client changes their address, you record the new address in only one program – all other
programs update instantly.
You should upgrade SuperFund 2009 annually to ensure that:
• Your practice complies with any legislative changes.
• You can transfer accounting information into the current year taxation forms.
• You are able to obtain software support.

Chapter 2. The Client database

The Client database, which is shared by all HandiSoft programs, records details of your firm's clients. If
a client changes their address, you need only to record that change in one HandiSoft program because all
HandiSoft programs automatically update to reflect the change.
When you add a fund to SuperFund 2009, you create a record in the Entity database, which is also
accessed by HandiLedger 2009. However, if you want to use data from SuperFund 2009 in HandiTax
2009, there must also be a record in the Client database.

Opening the Client database


To open the Client database:
• From the Tools menu, click Client Details. The "Clients" window will open.

Figure 11: The "Clients" window


The "Clients" window displays a summary view of the Client database, listing each client on a single line.
If the client has been tagged, the entry will be displayed as bold text.

Tip: You can use the Ref, Name and TFN columns to order your data. For example, if you want
to list the clients in TFN order, click the TFN… heading.
To see more details on a specific client, highlight the client and then click View to open the "Clients
Detail" window.

5. On the “Select a master chart” window, select the “Chart of Accounts” for the new fund.

Registering for the GST


If the fund is registered for the GST, and can claim a refund for GST paid, on the “Add a New Fund”
window, under Year Details, select the Registered for GST check box. This will enable the GST
Payable and GST Claimable fields in the SuperFund 2009 transaction windows.
During data entry, SuperFund 2009 will take 1/11th of the cost (cost, purchase fee, disposal fee, expense,
etc) and automatically enter it into the GST Claimable or GST Payable field.
In many cases the fund can only claim 75% of the GST paid so, even though SuperFund 2009 fills the
GST Claimable field with 100% of the GST, you will need to determine what amount the fund is entitled
to claim and adjust the value accordingly.

Setting up an existing fund


After you have added an existing fund, the “Fund Opening Setup” window will open for you to enter
details of members and assets.

Note: This window is only available if you are setting up an existing fund that has a commencement date

Chapter 5. Maintaining data

This chapter discusses possible methods of fixing data corruption.

Resolving data corruption


If you suspect that the data on your computer is corrupted, you may be able to fix it by rebuilding the
database:
If this does not resolve the problem, it is likely that the data will need to be restored from backup. When
in doubt, contact our Software Support department for further advice.

Rebuilding the database files


This option attempts to restore integrity to corrupted SuperFund 2009 data files. There are two types of
rebuilds available: -
Option Description

Re-Index only Performs a re-index on your existing data files. This is


significantly faster than a full rebuild.
Rebuild (Re-index and Reads all the data in your existing data files, validates
Pack) each data field, and then writes the data to new data
files.

Note: Where data files are damaged to the extent that data can no longer be read, then performing a
rebuild will not restore this data. In such cases, restoring from backup is your best option (refer to the
"Advanced Features 2009" manual).
1. Exit all computers out of all HandiSoft programs (excluding the SuperFund 2009 program on your
computer).
1. From the Tools menu, click Reindex or Rebuild Database Files to open the “Reindex or Rebuild
Data” window.

Superannuation terms

Account-based super income streams


An account-based benefit is an income stream where an account balance is attributable to the member.
That is, the amount supporting the income stream must be allocated to a separate account for each
member.
Assessable income
This is income that a person must include in their income tax return.
Annual deductible amount / Deductible amount
The annual deductible amount is that part of the undeducted purchase price (UPP) used in determining the
taxable amount of an income stream received in a particular year. See Undeducted Purchase Price partial
commutation of post-June 1994 pension or annuities
CGT
Capital Gains Tax
CGT exempt component
An employer termination payment will have a CGT exempt component if the payment arose because a
taxpayer claimed the small business exemption in relation to a CGT asset of the taxpayer.
Commutation
This is the process of converting an income stream into a lump sum payment. This payment can be paid
to the beneficiary or rolled over to another product within the same superannuation fund, or to another
superannuation fund.
Concessional component
A concessional component is that part of a superannuation lump sum which represents a bona fide
redundancy payment, an approved early retirement scheme payment or an invalidity payment that was
made before 1 July 1994.
Contributions segment
The contributions segment forms part of the tax-free component of a super interest.
It generally includes contributions made in respect of a member from 1 July 2007 that have not been
included in the assessable income of the superannuation fund. Typically these would be member
contributions where no personal tax deduction has been claimed by the member.
Crystallisation
This is the process that sets or determines the tax-free component of a super interest at 30 June 2007.
Crystallised segment
The crystallised segment forms part of the tax-free component of a super interest. It is the total of the
following components:
• the concessional component
• the post-June 1994 invalidity component
• the undeducted contributions
• the CGT exempt component
• the pre-July 1983 component
The segment is calculated by assuming that an eligible termination payment representing the full value of
the super interest is paid just before 1 July 2007.

Superannuation terms SuperFund 2009

Disability superannuation benefit


A disability super benefit means a super benefit if:
• the benefit is paid to a person because he or she suffers from ill-health (whether physical or
mental), and
• two legally qualified medical practitioners have certified that because of the ill-health, it is
unlikely that the person can ever be gainfully employed in a capacity for which he or she is
reasonably qualified because of education, experience or training.
Element untaxed in the fund
This is the part the taxable component of a super benefit that has not been taxed in the fund.
Element taxed in the fund
This is the part the taxable component of a super benefit that has been taxed in the fund.
Eligible service period - superannuation fund
Generally, this is the period from the day membership with a fund commenced through to the day
membership ceased. Where monies have been rolled over into the current fund from another fund, the
commencement date will be the day membership commenced with the earlier fund if this is an earlier date
than the current fund membership start date.
Where the fund is an employer sponsored fund, the membership commencement date will be the earlier of
the day membership commenced with the fund or the day employment commenced.
Where an employer eligible termination payment has been rolled over into the fund, the membership
commencement date is the earlier of the day membership commenced with the fund or the day
employment commenced.
Eligible termination payment (ETP)
Generally, lump sum payments made before 1 July 2007 in consequence of termination of employment,
or a lump sum payment made before 1 July 2007 from a superannuation fund, approved deposit fund
(ADF) or retirement saving account (RSAs) etc, by virtue of being or having been a member of the super
fund, ADF or RSA.
Excessive component
This is the part of an ETP which exceeded the recipient’s reasonable benefit limit. (RBLs were abolished
as of 1 July 2007.)
Income stream benefit
A superannuation income stream is a regular series of payments from a superannuation fund. It has the
meaning given by section 307-70 of ITAA 1997.
Lump sum
A Superannuation lump sum is the benefit taken as a lump sum payment from a superannuation plan,
rather than as an income stream.
Non-account-based super income streams
There is no account balance attributable to the recipient of the income stream and the income stream is
funded from general reserves of the fund or, in the case of some unfunded public sector schemes,
consolidated revenue.
Non-qualifying component
This represents the earnings on any annuities that were purchased with non-superannuation or termination
of employment money. These amounts did not qualify for RBL concessional tax rates and were taxed as
ordinary income. Very few benefits will have a non-qualifying component.
Pay as you go (PAYG)
This is a single, integrated system for reporting and paying withholding amounts and tax on business and
investment income.
Pension or annuity
This is a benefit made up of a series of payments

112 © HandiSoft Software Pty Ltd


SuperFund 2009 Superannuation terms

Post-June 1994 Invalidity Component


A Post-June 94 Invalidity component is the amount of the eligible termination payment that consists of,
or is attributable to an invalidity payment made on or after 1 July 1994.
Pre-July 1983 component
A benefit may have a pre-July 1983 component if the recipient’s eligible service period started before 1
July 1983.
Proportioning rule
The proportioning rule provides that when a super benefit is paid from a super interest, the benefit will
include both tax-free and taxable components calculated in the same proportion that these components
make up the total value of the super interest.
Example
The amount of a super lump sum benefit is $1,000. Just before the benefit is paid, the total value of the
super interest was $10,000 (of which $4,000 was the tax-free component and $6,000 was the taxable
component). This proportion of tax-free and taxable components will apply to the lump sum benefit.
Therefore the lump sum benefit will consist of $400 tax-free component and $600 taxable component.
Reversionary income stream death benefit
This is an income stream which on your death continues to be paid to your nominated beneficiary.
Roll-over
A roll-over is:
• the transfer of all or part of an employer termination payment into a superannuation fund (can
occur only in very limited situations), or
• a transfer of a member’s capital value from one superannuation fund to another or to a new
product within the same fund.
Service period
See Eligible service period - superannuation fund.
Superannuation benefit
A super benefit is the amount paid either as a superannuation income stream, lump sum or a combination
of both, and is a payment usually made by a superannuation fund. It includes the following payments:
• a superannuation fund payment to the member
• a retirement savings account (RSA) payment to the holder of the RSA account
• an approved deposit fund payment to the depositor
• a small superannuation account payment to the holder of the account
• an unclaimed money payment to the person because the person or another person who has died
was the member or holder in relation to the money
• a superannuation co-contribution benefit payment
• a superannuation guarantee payment, and
• a superannuation annuity payment paid to the annuitant (including a payment arising from the
commutation of the superannuation annuity).
Superannuation income stream
A superannuation income stream is a regular series of payments from a superannuation fund. It has the
meaning given by section 307-70 of ITAA 1997.
Superannuation interest
Superannuation interest means:
• an interest in a superannuation fund
• an interest in an approved deposit fund
• an interest in an RSA, or
• an interest in a superannuation annuity.
A super interest is generally any amount, benefit or entitlement which a member holds in a fund.

© HandiSoft Software Pty Ltd 113


Superannuation terms SuperFund 2009

The total value of a member’s super interest at a particular time is the total amount of all superannuation
lumps sums, benefits or entitlements that could be payable from the interest at a particular time. Typically
this is the member’s total account balance in the fund.
Super interest below $200
Where a person’s super interest in a superannuation plan is less than $200 and the entire amount is paid
out as a superannuation lump sum, the benefit will be non-assessable non-exempt income if certain
conditions are met. See Super Benefits under $200.
Superannuation lump sum
A Superannuation lump sum is the benefit taken as a lump sum payment from a superannuation plan,
rather than as an income stream.
Tax-free component – super interest
The tax-free component of a super interest is the total value of the following segments:
• the contributions segment, and
• the crystallised segment.
Taxable component – super interest
The taxable component of a super interest or benefit is the total value of the interest or benefit less the
tax-free component. The taxable component is usually made up of tax deductible contributions made to
the superannuation fund by the person and/or by the employer on the person’s behalf, as well as earnings
on all contributions.
Taxed Source
This refers to superannuation funds, approved deposit funds or retirement savings accounts (RSAs) which
pay tax under the standard superannuation tax provisions.
Undeducted contributions
Undeducted contributions are contributions paid by the taxpayer or by a person other than an employer of
the taxpayer to a superannuation fund where no deduction has been allowed for the contributions. These
contributions must have been paid on or after 1 July 1983.
Untaxed Source
An untaxed source is typically a government fund for public servants where the fund does not pay tax on
contributions and earnings it receives.
Undeducted purchase price (UPP)
This is the amount contributed towards the purchase of a pension or annuity that was not eligible for a tax
deduction, for example undeducted contributions.
Unused undeducted purchase price (unused UPP)
The unused UPP is the UPP at the time the income stream commenced less the amounts subsequently
claimed as deductible amounts against the income stream.
Valuation factor
This is the factor used for determining the capital value of a super interest upon conversion of an income
stream to an equivalent lump sum. It is based on the age of the recipient at commencement of the income
stream, the level of reversion and the level of indexation. The income stream valuation factors can be
found in the Income Tax Assessment Regulations 1997 Schedule 1B.
Withholding tax
This is tax that is deducted at the source: on interest, dividend and royalty payments made to non-
residents, and certain investments or payments to residents where the recipient has not provided their tax
file number.
