Module BA—Clean energy supplement

 1067G‑BA1 A clean energy supplement is to be added to the person's (the recipient's) maximum basic rate if the recipient 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 recipient.

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

General case—recipient not covered by point 1067G‑B3A and youth disability supplement not added

 1067G‑BA2 The recipient's clean energy supplement is the recipient's clean energy (under pension age) rate if:
 (a) the recipient is not covered by point 1067G‑B3A; and
 (b) an amount of youth disability supplement is not added under Module D to the recipient's rate.

 1067G‑BA3 For the purposes of point 1067G‑BA2, the recipient's clean energy (under pension age) rate is worked out by:
 (a) working out 1.7% of the maximum basic rate, 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 10 cents (rounding up if that result is not a multiple of 10 cents but is a multiple of 5 cents).

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).

Recipient covered by point 1067G‑B3A

 1067G‑BA4 If the recipient is covered by point 1067G‑B3A, the recipient's clean energy supplement is the rate worked out under Module BB of the Pension PP (Single) Rate Calculator as if the recipient were receiving parenting payment.

Youth disability supplement added to the recipient's rate

 1067G‑BA5 If an amount of youth disability supplement is added under Module D to the recipient's rate, the recipient's clean energy supplement is the recipient's clean energy (youth disability) rate.

 1067G‑BA6 The recipient's clean energy (youth disability) 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 10 cents (rounding up if that result is not a multiple of 10 cents but is a multiple of 5 cents).

Note: This rate for those circumstances, and the rates for persons with different circumstances, are indexed 12 monthly
