36. The actuarial gains are determined at the date of a complete actuarial valuation of a pension plan. The amount corresponds to the amount by which the general account of the plan, increased by the value of the amortization payments remaining to be paid to amortize an unfunded actuarial liability determined during a prior actuarial valuation, exceeds the plan’s liabilities.
If actuarial gains are so determined, they are composed of the following elements:(1) additional contributions corresponding to the amount by which the value of the contributions included in the plan’s assets since the date of the last complete actuarial valuation exceeds the value of the contributions provided for, for the same period, in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph of section 39 of the Act;
(2) the technical gains or losses whose amount corresponds to the sum of the variations, since the last complete actuarial valuation, in the value of obligations arising from the plan and its general account, caused by deviations between the results and forecasts and by changes made to the actuarial assumptions and methods, it being understood that the additional contribution determined in paragraph 1 are excluded from that calculation;
(3) other actuarial gains.
The value of the amortization payments referred to in the first paragraph is established using the interest rate of the previous complete actuarial valuation without taking into account the deviations that result from the application of section 50.
