2.3. Where a document has been issued or a contract has been entered into before 31 July 1997 purporting to create, to establish, to extinguish or to be in substitution for, a taxpayer’s right to an amount or amounts, immediately or in the future, out of or under a pension plan, the following rules apply:

(a)  where the rights provided for in the document or contract are rights provided for by the pension plan or are rights to a payment or payments out of the pension plan, and the taxpayer acquired an interest under the document or contract before that date, any payment under the document or contract is deemed to be a payment out of or under the pension plan and the taxpayer is deemed not to have received, on the issuance of the document or the entering into the contract, an amount out of or under a pension plan; and

(b)  where the rights created or established by the document or contract are not rights provided for by the pension plan or rights to a payment or payments out of the pension plan, the taxpayer is deemed to have received an amount out of or under the pension plan equal to the value of the rights created or established by the document or contract when the document was issued or the contract was entered into.
