20.4. A purchaser who is entitled to payment of the temporary income referred to in section 19.1 may determine, for each fiscal year of the life income fund, a maximum temporary income that may not exceed the lesser of the following amounts:(1) the reference temporary income determined in accordance with section 20.3;
(2) the amount “X” in the following formula:
G - T = X
“G” is equal to 40% of the Maximum Pensionable Earnings determined, for the year covered by the fiscal year, pursuant to the Act respecting the Québec Pension Plan (chapter R-9); “T” represents the sum of the following amounts:(a) the total temporary income that the purchaser must receive during the year covered by the fiscal year under a pension plan subject to or established by law or under a contract creating a pension of which the capital comes directly or not from such a plan;
(b) the total of the amounts that the purchaser has determined or that he must determine for his other life income funds, in the form of a maximum temporary income for the current fiscal year;
(c) the total of the amounts that the member has determined or that he must determine for the locked-in account of his voluntary retirement savings plan governed by the Voluntary Retirement Savings Plans Act (chapter R-17.0.1) for the maximum temporary variable payments for the current fiscal year. However, in the event that the reference temporary income determined in accordance with section 20.3 is less than the amount “X” in the first paragraph, where the purchaser provides to the financial institution a declaration in conformity with the one prescribed in Schedule 0.8, the purchaser may determine, as the maximum temporary income, an amount that does not exceed the lesser of the following amounts:(1) the amount “X” in the first paragraph;
(2) the balance of the fund at the beginning of the fiscal year, increased by any sums transferred to the fund and any income earned by the fund after that date and reduced by any sums originating directly or not during the same year from a life income fund of the purchaser, from a supplemental pension plan that offers the variable benefits referred to in Division II.3 or from a locked-in account of his voluntary retirement savings plan governed by the Voluntary Retirement Savings Plans Act and offering variable payments.
The purchaser may, at any time before the end of the fiscal year, determine a new, increased, maximum temporary income for the fiscal year. In such event, he shall send to the financial institution declarations in conformity with the ones prescribed in Schedules 0.4 and 0.8.
