Hi Tom,
Thank you for your detailed and informative reply.
I had intended to recontribute back as an undeducted contribuion, and immediately start up a new pension which would be 100% tax free in nature.
I think that means the old pension (somewhat depleted) will retain its original character regarding the percentage of "good" to "bad" money.
The new pension would be based on 100% "good" money. Next year I would have to take 4% of its value out, but my understanding is that this would not be taxable or even declarable even if I am still under 60.
I guess a slight messiness is that one could end up with a few pensions - although all new ones would be tax free effectively.
In all this I am assuming it is OK to have mutiple pension accounts for one member within a SMSF.
Cheers,
