Relevant number
The 2015-2017 Australian Life Tables are used as the basis for determining the range of available terms for TAPs. For account based pensions that commenced before 1 January 2015, the Life Tables are used to determine the relevant number for the purposes of the social security income test (see page 82) and for pensions that commenced before 1 July 2007, the Life Tables were used to determine the relevant number for the purposes of the deductible amount.
