Section 524: The total amount of part surrender gains
2058.This section is based on regulation 5 of PPB(T)R.
2059.The exclusions made by subsections (4) and (5) affect assignments. That type of transaction has frequently been used in tax planning to avoid the charge rewritten in this Chapter.
2060.Because of the change of approach mentioned in the commentary on section 510, the calculations under sections 507 and 511 are independent (albeit sharing some features). It is therefore unnecessary to rewrite paragraph 5(2B)(c) of PPB(T)R, as the provisions mentioned there contribute only to the calculation under section 511.
