Method statement

Step 1.   Work out the sum of the amount of pension received by the person from time to time under the pension loans scheme: the result is the primary loan amount .

Step 1A.   Add to the primary loan amount the amount of any pension loans scheme advance payments received by the person: the result is the advance payment adjusted amount .

Step 2.   Add to the advance payment adjusted amount the amount of any registration costs payable by the person under subsection   1143(4): the result is the registration cost adjusted amount .

Step 3.   Take away from the registration cost adjusted amount the sum of the amount of pension (if any) that would have been received by the person but for the operation of the scheme: the result is the basic amount of debt .

Step 4.   Add to the basic amount of debt the amount of interest payable. The interest payable is compound interest at the rate fixed under subsection   (4) and compounding fortnightly: the result is the total amount of debt .

Step 5.   From the total amount of debt take away any amount of the debt already paid to the Commonwealth: the result is the current amount of debt owed by the person.
