Module BA—Clean energy supplement

 1066A‑BA1 A clean energy supplement is to be added to the person's maximum basic rate if the person is residing in Australia and:
 (a) is in Australia; or
 (b) is temporarily absent from Australia and has been so for a continuous period not exceeding 13 weeks.
However, this Module does not apply if quarterly clean energy supplement is payable to the person.

Note: Section 918 may affect the addition of the clean energy supplement.

1066A‑BA2 The person's (the recipient's) clean energy supplement is the recipient's clean energy (under pension age) rate.

 1066A‑BA3 For the purposes of point 1066A‑BA2, the recipient's clean energy (under pension age) rate is worked out by:
 (a) working out 1.7% of the total of the maximum basic rate, and the youth disability supplement, worked out:
 (i) for 1 January 2014; and
 (ii) for a person whose circumstances on that day were the same as the recipient's current circumstances; and
 (b) rounding the result of paragraph (a) up or down to the nearest multiple of $2.60 (rounding up if that result is not a multiple of $2.60 but is a multiple of $1.30).

Note: This rate for those circumstances, and the rates for persons with different circumstances, are indexed 12 monthly in line with CPI increases (see sections 1191 to 1194).
