    • “(vi) the person chooses to use the formula method for the interest in the scheme.

  “Schedule method: assessable withdrawal amount

  “(7) The assessable withdrawal amount under the schedule method is calculated using the formula—

  (super withdrawal – contributions left) × schedule year fraction.

  “Definition of items in formula in subsection (7)

  “(8) In the formula in subsection (7),—

  • “(a) super withdrawal is the amount of the foreign superannuation withdrawal:

  • “(b) contributions left is the lesser of the amount of the item super withdrawal and the total amount of recognised contributions under subsection (16) made in the assessable period before the distribution time, reduced, for each withdrawal (the earlier withdrawal), other than a pension or annuity, made in the assessable period before the distribution time, by an amount equal to the lesser of—

    • “(i) the amount of the earlier withdrawal:

    • “(ii) the value of the item contributions left, immediately before the time of the earlier withdrawal:

  • “(c) schedule year fraction is the fraction given in schedule 33 (Default fractions of foreign superannuation withdrawals), column 2 of the row for which the entry in column 1 corresponds to the greater of 1 and the number of income years beginning—

    • “(i) in the assessable period under subsection (5B); and

    • “(iii) before the distribution time.

  “Formula method: distributed gain

  “(9) Under the formula method, the part (the distributed gain) of a foreign superannuation withdrawal that is treated as consisting of gains made by the scheme during the assessable period is calculated using the formula—

  (super withdrawal × calculated gains fraction) – other gains.

  “Definition of items in formula in subsection (9)

  “(10) In the formula in subsection (9),—

  • “(a) super withdrawal is the amount of the foreign superannuation withdrawal:

  • “(b) other gains is the total amount of distributed gains referred to in subsection (9) for foreign superannuation withdrawals in the assessable period before the distribution time.

  “Formula method: calculated gains fraction

  “(11) In the formula in subsection (9), calculated gains fraction is the greater of zero and the amount calculated using the formula—

  predistribution + withdrawals – value – contributions

  predistribution.

  “Definition of items in formula in subsection (11)

  “(12) In the formula in subsection (11),—

  • “(a) predistribution is the value of the interest in the scheme immediately before the distribution time:

  • “(c) value is the value of the interest in the scheme at the beginning of the assessable period:

  • “(d) contributions is the amount of recognised contributions under subsection (16) made to the interest in the scheme in the assessable period before the distribution time.

  “Formula method: assessable withdrawal amount

  “(13) The assessable withdrawal amount under the formula method is the amount calculated using the formula—

  gain × (grow rate – 1) × tax rate × (assessable years − 1) + gain.

  “Formula method: grow rate

  “(14) In the formula in subsection (13), grow rate is the amount calculated using the formula—

  					(				)		1
  							accrued total				assessable years.
  							value

  “Definition of other items in formulas in subsections (13) and (14)

  “(15) In the formulas in subsections (13) and (14),—

  • “(a) gain is the amount of the distributed gain referred to in subsection (9) for the foreign superannuation withdrawal:

  • “(b) tax rate is the tax rate referred to in schedule 6, table 1, row 1 (Prescribed rates: PIE investments and retirement scheme contributions):

  • “(c) assessable years is the greater of 1 and the number of tax years beginning in the assessable period and before the distribution time:

  • “(d) accrued total is the value of the interest in the scheme immediately before the distribution time, increased by the value of foreign superannuation withdrawals from the interest in the scheme in the assessable period before the distribution time, and reduced by the value of recognised contributions under subsection (16) made to the interest in the scheme in the assessable period before the distribution time:

  • “(e) value is the value of the interest in the scheme at the beginning of the assessable period.

  “Recognised contributions

  “(16) The value of a payment to the scheme is taken into account in the formulas in subsections (7), (11), and (14) as a contribution (a recognised contribution) if the payment—

  • “(a) is made when the person is a New Zealand resident who is treated as a New Zealand resident under all applicable double tax agreements; and

  • “(b) is made by the person, by the person's employer, or for the benefit of the person; and

  “(17) For the purposes of this section, an interest of a person in a foreign superannuation scheme consists of rights of the person to benefit as a member or beneficiary from distributions by the superannuation scheme.

  “Calculating assessable period

  “(18) In calculating under subsection (5B) the assessable period for a person who acquires an interest in a foreign superannuation scheme,—

  • “(a) if none of paragraphs (b) to (d) apply, the person is treated as acquiring the interest when the first contribution is made to the superannuation scheme, in relation to the rights, by or for the person; or

  • “(b) if the person is converting existing rights of the person in another foreign superannuation scheme (the former scheme) to corresponding rights of the person in the superannuation scheme, the person is treated as acquiring the interest when the person acquired the rights in the former scheme; or

  • “(c) if the person is acquiring existing rights in the superannuation scheme from another person, other than by a transaction to which paragraph (d) applies, the person is treated as acquiring the interest when the person acquires the rights; or

  “(2) The mineral miner may make an election to apply this section in relation to the permit area in a return of income for an income year that is the first year in which the miner's commercial production of a listed industrial mineral from the mining permit area starts. The election is irrevocable and applies only to expenditure referred to in subsection (1)(a).

  “Reserve depletion method

  “(3) The deduction for the expenditure incurred by the mineral miner and allocated to an income year is calculated using the formula—

  (reserve expenditure — previous expenditure) ×		reserve depletion for the year
  		proven and probable reserves.

  “Definition of items in formula

  “(4) In the formula,—

  • “(a) reserve expenditure is the total mining development expenditure for the permit area for the income year and earlier income years to which this section applies:

  • “(b) previous expenditure is the total expenditure for the permit area that has been allocated to an earlier income year to which this section applied:

  • “(c) reserve depletion for the year is the amount of a listed industrial mineral produced from the permit area for the income year:

  • “(d) proven and probable reserves is the amount of the proven ore reserves and probable ore reserves of the listed industrial mineral for the permit area as set out in the reserve statement for the area, provided the reserve statement is prepared in accordance with a classification code recognised for the purposes of estimating reserves and resources under the Crown Minerals (Minerals other than Petroleum) Regulations 2007.

  “Appropriate units of measure

  “(5) In subsection (4)(c) and (d), the amount must be expressed in an appropriate unit of measure as set out in the mineral miner's reserve statement, and must be the same measure used in the formula for the items defined in those paragraphs.

  “Mines and mining permit areas

  “(6) For the purposes of this section, a mineral miner may allocate expenditure for an income year under this section in relation to a mine rather than in relation to a mining permit area, but only if—

  • “(b) the allocation in relation to the mine is permitted for the purposes of those statements.

  “Transitional provision for existing mines

  “(7) Despite subsection (2), a mineral miner may make an election to apply this section in relation to an existing permit area for the 2014–15 income year.
