Tax year rule (disposals on or after 1 July 2002)
A tax year is a period commencing on 1 July and ending on 30 June of the next calendar year. For disposal of assets on or after 1 July 2002, section 52JA (for an individual) and 52JC (for members of a couple) provides a tax year rule that replaces the pension year rule.
Rolling period rule (disposals on or after 1 July 2002)
VEA ? [3]
If there is the disposition of assets on or after 1 July 2002, the rolling period [4] comprises the tax year in which the relevant disposition took place and such (if any) of the 4 previous tax years that have occurred after 30 June 2002. Disposals that occurred prior to 1 July 2002 are not counted in the rolling period.
Pension year rule (disposals before 1 July 2002)
VEA ? [5]
Disposal of assets prior to 1 July 2002 were/are assessed by pension years and were/are included in the value of a person's assets for a 5 year period commencing from the date that the disposal took place. The pension year was usually the 12 month period commencing from the day that the income support pension first became payable to the pensioner. Disposals in the 5 pre-pension years are also included in the person's assets. Special determinations were required to align the pension year for members of a couple.
Note: no pension year assessment may extend beyond 30 June 2002.

If there is a disposition of assets on or after 1 July 2002, the rolling period is the period comprising the tax year in which the relevant disposition took place and such (if any) of the 4 previous tax years as occurred after 30 June 2002. This means that disposals that occurred prior to 1 July 2002 are not counted in the rolling period.
