Usage code - Business Entity current Postal address Usage code - Business Entity main address Usage code - Business Entity Previous Postal address Did you have a CGT event during the year? Did you have a CGT event during the year? - Respond in the affirmative if the company had a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) event happen during the income year, or if the company received a distribution of a capital gain from a trust. If the answer is in the affirmative please answer the additional question: Did this CGT event relate to a forestry managed investment scheme interest that you held other than as an initial participant? CGT events are the different types of transactions or events that may result in a capital gain or capital loss. Many CGT events involve a CGT asset - for example, the disposal of a CGT asset - while other CGT events relate directly to capital receipts (capital proceeds). An Australian resident company makes a capital gain or capital loss if a CGT event happens to any of its worldwide CGT assets. A company that is not an Australian resident company makes a capital gain or capital loss, generally speaking, if a CGT event happens to any of its CGT assets which have the necessary connection with Australia just before the CGT event happens. If the company ceases to hold or to use a depreciating asset that was used for both taxable and non-taxable purposes, a CGT event may happen to the asset. A capital gain or capital loss may arise to the extent that the asset was used for a non-taxable purpose. For more information about CGT events, see the ATO website. The Guide to capital gains tax includes: - a capital gain or capital loss worksheet for calculating a capital gain or capital loss for each CGT event - a CGT summary worksheet for calculating the company's net capital gain or capital loss - a CGT schedule. Completion of the worksheets is not mandatory. Do not attach them to the company tax return - keep them with the company's tax records. However, if the company has: - total current year capital gains are greater than $10,000, or - total current year capital losses are year greater than $10,000 complete a CGT schedule and attach it to the company tax return Interposed Entity Election Status - Specified Income Year Interposed Entity Election Status - Specified Income Year - Inform the relevant field with the Interposed Entity Election Status - Specified Income Year If the company has made, or is making, one or more interposed entity elections, enter the four-digit income year specified of the earliest election. Functional currency translation rate Functional currency translation rate - Inform the relevant field with the functional currency translation rate. Complete this field if the company keeps its accounts solely or predominantly in a foreign currency (its applicable functional currency) and has elected to use that functional currency for its tax accounts which it then translates to Australian dollars (A$) to complete its tax return. Do not complete this label N if the company has elected to use a non-A$ functional currency only to calculate income attributable to the activities of an overseas PE, CFC, OBU or transferor trust. For more information, see Foreign income return form guide, available on the ATO website. If the company is using a functional currency, see the publication Foreign exchange (forex): guide to functional currency rules, available only on the ATO website. Write at this field the exchange rate employed to translate the taxable income figure from the applicable functional currency into A$. The translation rate is the amount by which the functional currency amount must be divided in order to reflect an equivalent amount of A$ - that is, the number of non-A$ currency units that equal one A$, rounded to four significant figures. If this field is completed, also complete 'Functional currency chosen'. Translation rate type - Currency Translation Tax losses carried forward to later income years Tax losses carried forward to later income years - Inform the relevant field with the amount of the unapplied - that is, undeducted or not transferred - amount of tax losses incurred by the company and carried forward to the following income year. Any company that is a subsidiary member of a consolidated group at the end of the income year is not required to complete Losses Information item. Other companies, including the head company of a consolidated group at the end of the income year, may need to complete Losses Information item. Net exempt income (if any) must be taken into account in calculating the amount of tax losses carried forward to the 2008-09 income year - see sections 36-10 and 36-17 of the ITAA 1997. Tax losses carried forward may be affected by the commercial debt forgiveness provisions. Under sections 36-17 and 36-55 of the ITAA 1997 a company is: - subject to certain limitations, able to choose the amount of prior year tax losses it wishes to deduct in a later year of income from the excess (if any) of its assessable income over total deductions (other than tax losses). Providing choice means that companies can choose not to deduct prior year losses in order to pay sufficient tax to be able to frank their distributions - able, in certain circumstances, to convert excess franking offsets into a tax loss for the income year and carry forward the tax loss for consideration as a deduction in a later income year. If the company has excess franking offsets at Excess franking offsets , calculate the company's tax loss for the income year under the method statement in subsection 36-55(2) of the ITAA 1997 as follows: Step 1. Work out the amount (if any) that would have been the company's tax loss for the year under section 36-10, 165-70, 175-35 or 701-30 of the ITAA 1997, disregarding any net exempt income. Step 2. Divide the amount of excess franking offsets by the corporate tax rate. Step 3. Add the result of steps 1 and 2. Step 4. Take away the company's net exempt income (if any). The result (if a positive amount) is the company's tax loss for the income year. Include this amount in this field with any unapplied prior year(s) tax loss(es). If a company is required to complete a Losses schedule, the amount of the tax losses carried forward to later income years in part A of that schedule must be the same as the amount shown in this field. Do not include any net capital losses to be carried forward to later income years - inform these separately at Net capital losses carried forward to later income years and in the CGT schedule, if a CGT schedule is required. If a head company is required to complete a Consolidated groups losses schedule, the amount of the tax losses shown at Tax losses carried forward to later income years in part A of that schedule must also be the same as the amount shown in this field. If the company is a subsidiary member of a consolidated group at the end of the income year, this field is not applicable.

If the Company is an eligible small business entity and has chosen to use the simplified depreciation rules, this is the total depreciation deductions being claimed under the simplified depreciation rules and the uniform capital allowances (UCA) rules. Small business entities can claim an immediate deduction for most depreciating assets costing less than $1,000 each (excluding input tax credit entitlements) and pool most of their other depreciating assets. For more information about the small business entity depreciation rules, visit the Tax Office website ato.gov.au TOFA Expenses from financial arrangements Expenses from financial arrangements (TOFA) - Taxpayers (if applicable) must enter a whole $ amount to allow the Commissioner to perform the appropriate calculation of PAYG instalment income Income from financial arrangements (TOFA) Small business entity aggregated turnover Income from financial arrangements (TOFA) - Company (if applicable) must enter a whole $ amount to allow the Commissioner to perform the appropriate calculation of PAYG instalment income Small business entity aggregated turnover - Inform the relevant field with the amount of small business entity aggregated turnover. There are aggregation rules to help you determine who is an affiliate and when an entity is connected with you for the purpose of calculating your aggregated turnover. Certain transactions, such as income from dealings between the company and any entities that it is connected with or that are its affiliates, are excluded from aggregated turnover. If a partnership is connected with the company, it is the company's turnover combined with the partnership's turnover that is relevant in determining the company's eligibility for the ETO in relation to its small business income. Correspondingly, it is the turnover of the partnership combined with the company's turnover that is relevant in determining the company's eligibility for the ETO in relation to its share of the partnership's net small business income. If the company is not affiliated or connected with any other entities under the aggregation rules, the company's aggregated turnover will be equal to its annual business turnover. If the company is claiming a tax offset in respect of a share of net small business income received from a partnership or trust, inform "D" in the aggregated turnover of the partnership or trust. You will need to obtain the partnership's and/or trust's aggregated turnover and your share of the net small business income from the preparer of the partnership's and/or trust's tax return. In most cases, the company's small business entity turnover amount will be the same as its aggregated turnover. However, if any of the following circumstances apply the company will need to make the following adjustments to calculate the small business entity turnover. - If another entity's turnover has been included in the company's aggregated turnover amount, then that entity's turnover must be excluded, and add back any income the company derived from its affiliates or connected entities. - If the company operated a business for part of the year, include only the company's actual turnover amount. There is no need to use the estimate of its full year turnover. - If the company had retail fuel sales, add back those sales. If the aggregated turnover in relation to an amount of net small business income is greater than or equal to $75,000, do not complete this item as the company is not entitled to an ETO in respect of that net small business income amount.

Show in this field all assessable government industry payments including: bounties, cleaner fuel grants, fuel grant under the energy grants credits scheme, fuel sales grant, product stewardship (oil) benefit, employee subsidies, export incentive grants, drought relief, industry assistance grants including grants relating to research and development, producers rebate (wine equalisation tax), product stewardship (oil) benefit. Bad debts Bad debts - Inform the relevant field with the amount of bad debts. There are two methods to account for bad debt: Direct write off method (Non - GAAP) - A receivable which is not considered collectible is charged directly to the income statement. Allowance method (GAAP) - An estimate is made at the end of each fiscal year of the amount of bad debt. This is then accumulated in a provision which is then used to reduce specific receivable accounts as and when necessary. Include recovery of bad debts at Other gross income. A deduction for bad debts is not allowable unless the debt that is bad has previously been included in assessable income, or is for money lent in the ordinary course of the business of lending money by a company carrying on that business. Do not include accounting provisions for doubtful debts at this field, but at all other expenses and add them back at Non-deductible expenses. Before a bad debt can be claimed, it must be bad and not merely doubtful. The deduction depends on the facts in each case and, where applicable, the action taken for recovery. A deduction can also be claimed for: - partial debt write-offs where only part of a debt is bad and is written off - losses incurred in debt and equity swaps for debt extinguished after 26 February 1992 if the legal provisions are satisfied. Under these provisions, a deduction may be allowable for the difference between the amount of the debt extinguished and the greater of the market value of the equity or the value at which the equity is recorded in the creditor's books at the time of issue. The market value of the equity is the price quoted on the stock exchange or, if the equity is not listed, the net asset backing of the equity. If the taxpayer is not in the business of lending money, the deduction is limited to the amount of the debt included in assessable income. A deduction for a bad debt or loss on a debt and equity swap is only allowable if the company claiming the deduction satisfies: - a continuity of ownership test (or we consider it unreasonable to have to satisfy the test), or - the same business test (if the continuity of ownership test is not satisfied or it is not practicable to show that it is). Where a debt was incurred in an income year prior to that in which it is written off as bad, the company must satisfy the continuity of ownership test at all times from the date on which the debt was incurred through to the end of the income year in which it writes off the debt. Where a debt was both incurred and written off as bad in the same income year, the company must satisfy the continuity of ownership test at all times during that income year. A company cannot deduct a debt that is both incurred and written off as bad on the last day of the income year. Deductions for bad debts may also be reduced by the commercial debt forgiveness provisions. Special rules apply to determine if the head company of a consolidated or MEC group can deduct a bad debt that for a period has been owed to a member of a consolidated or MEC group and for another period has been owed to an entity that was not a member of that group. Net capital gain Life insurance companies and friendly societies only - Net capital gain - complying superannuation/FHSA Class Life insurance companies and friendly societies only - Net capital gain-ordinary class Net capital gain - Inform the relevant field with the company's net capital gain.

Entrepreneurs tax offset Entrepreneurs tax offset - Inform the relevant field with the amount of entrepreneurs tax offset. Step 1. Work out the company's taxable income for the year. Step 2. Work out 25% of the basic income tax liability on that taxable income. Step 3. Work out the small business percentage of the taxable income using the following formula: [the company's net small business income for the year * 100 / the company's taxable income for the year] If the percentage that results is more than 100%, the small business percentage is 100%. Step 4. If the aggregated turnover is $50,000 or less, the tax offset is the step 2 amount multiplied by the small business percentage. Step 5 If the aggregated turnover is more than $50,000, work out the small business phase-out fraction using this formula: [$75,000 - the aggregated turnover for the year / $25,000] The tax offset in these circumstances is: [step 2 amount * small business percentage * small business phase-out fraction] The entrepreneurs tax offset and PAYG: The ETO is not taken into consideration when determining the rate of PAYG instalments. If an entity anticipates that it will be entitled to the tax offset on assessment, the entity may vary its instalments during the year. However, the entity may be liable to the general interest charge where a variation results in an underestimation of the instalments of more than 15%. Excess franking offsets Excess franking offsets - Inform the relevant with the amount of excess franking offsets. An entity that is a corporate tax entity at any time during an income year has an amount of excess franking offsets for that year if: (a) the total amount of tax offsets to which the entity is entitled for that year under Division 207 and Subdivision 210-H (except those that are subject to the refundable tax offset rules because of section 67-25); exceeds: (b) the amount of income tax that the entity would have to pay on its taxable income for that year if: (i) it did not have those tax offsets; and (ii) it did not have any tax offsets that are subject to the tax offset carry forward rules or the refundable tax offset rules; and (iii) it did not have any tax offset under section 205-70; but had all its other tax offsets. The excess is the amount of excess franking offsets. Example: For the 2002-2003 income year, Company E has: - assessable income of $200 (franked distribution of $140 and franking credit of $60); and - $100 of deductions that are allowable. The tax offset of $60 from the franking credit is not stated in Division 67 to be subject to the refundable tax offset rules. Disregarding the tax offset of $60 from the franking credit, the amount of income tax that Company E would have to pay is $30: [($140 + $60) - $100] x 30% This amount is $30 less than the tax offset of $60. Company E therefore has an amount of excess franking offsets of $30 for that year. Attributed foreign income - foreign investment funds income Attributed foreign income - foreign investment funds income - Inform the relevant field with the amount of attributed foreign income from foreign investment funds.

If the company is a life insurance company or organisation entitled to claim a refund of excess franking credits, claim the refundable amount at 'Other refundable credits' in the Calculation statement. Australian franking credits from a New Zealand company Australian franking credits from a New Zealand company - Inform the relevant field with any amounts of Australian franking credits from a New Zealand company that are included in assessable income because of a franked distribution paid to the company by a New Zealand company or because of its receipt indirectly through a partnership or trust. To work out whether the distribution is included in assessable income, see the Foreign income return form guide. To calculate the amount to show at Australian franking credits from a New Zealand company, the Australian franking credits received directly or indirectly from a New Zealand company must be reduced by the amount of a supplementary dividend or the company's share of a supplementary dividend if: - the supplementary dividend is paid in connection with the franked distribution, and - the company is entitled to a foreign tax offset because of the inclusion of the distribution in assessable income. For most companies the amount of Australian franking credits included at Australian franking credits from a New Zealand company, is allowable as a tax offset and should be claimed in the Calculation statement at Rebates/tax offsets. If the company is a life insurance company or organisation entitled to claim a refund of excess franking credits, claim the refundable amount in the Calculation statement at Other refundable credits. NOTE A dividend from a New Zealand franking company may also carry New Zealand imputation credits. An Australian resident cannot claim any New Zealand imputation credits.

The Company's total deductions for landcare operation expenses and for the decline in value of water facilities. The Company can claim a deduction in the year it incurs capital expenditure on a landcare operation for land in Australia. Unless the Company is a rural land irrigation water provider, the deduction is available to the extent the Company uses the land for either a primary production business, or in the case of rural land, carrying on a business for a taxable purpose from the use of that land - except a business of mining or quarrying. The Company may claim the deduction even if it is only a lessee of the land. The deduction is also available to rural land irrigation water providers - that is, to entities whose business is primarily and principally the supply of water (other than by using a motor vehicle) to entities for use in primary production businesses on land in Australia or to businesses (other than mining or quarrying businesses) using rural land in Australia. If the Company is a rural land irrigation water provider, it can claim a deduction for capital expenditure it incurs on a landcare operation for land in Australia that other entities - being entities supplied with water by the company - use at the time for carrying on primary production businesses, or rural land in Australia that other entities - being entities supplied with water by the company - use at the time for carrying on businesses for a taxable purpose from the use of that land (except a business of mining or quarrying). A rural land irrigation water provider's deduction is reduced by a reasonable amount to reflect an entity's use of the land for other than a taxable purpose after the water provider incurred the expenditure. A deduction cannot be claimed if the capital expenditure is on plant unless it is on certain fences, dams or other structural improvements. The Company can claim a deduction for the decline in value of a water facility in equal instalments over three years. A water facility is plant or a structural improvement that is primarily or principally for the purpose of conserving or conveying water, or a structural improvement that is reasonably incidental to conserving or conveying water.

The deduction is reduced if the facility is not wholly used for either carrying on a primary production business on land in Australia, or a taxable purpose. The deduction for water facilities is also available to irrigation water providers - that is, to entities whose business is primarily and principally the supply (other than by using a motor vehicle) of water to other entities for use in a primary production business on land in Australia. If the company is an irrigation water provider, it must incur the expenditure on the water facility primarily and principally for conserving or conveying water for use in primary production businesses conducted by other entities on land in Australia - being entities supplied with water by the Company. The Company's deduction is reduced if the water facility is not wholly used for a taxable purpose. Landcare and water facility tax offset brought forward from prior years - Inform the relevant field with the amount of landcare and water facility tax offset brought forward from prior years. A Company may have a landcare or water facility tax offset carried forward to this income year if its income tax liabilities and net exempt income for earlier years did not absorb all of the tax offset available to it from a previous year. This label shows the total of any landcare and water facility tax offsets carried forward and available for offset in this income year. A Company must first apply a carried forward tax offset to reduce any unused net exempt income to nil for this year or for any earlier income year in which the Company had a taxable income after the year in which the tax offset arose. Net exempt income is reduced by $1 for each 30 cents of the tax offset. The Company cannot apply a tax offset it has carried forward if Subdivision 165-A of the ITAA 1997 (about the consequences of changing ownership or control of a Company on deducting tax losses of earlier income years) would prevent the Company from deducting a tax loss for the current year. The company can claim a deduction for the decline in value of a water facility in equal instalments over three years. Did you sell any goods or services using the Internet?

Membership-based non-profit organisations (including licensed clubs) are only assessable on trading income that relates to non-members, on income received from sources outside its trading activities (including commercial transactions with members) and on revenue specified as income by tax law. This is due to the principle of mutuality that recognises that any surplus arising from contributions to a common fund created and controlled by people for a common purpose is not income. Mutual receipts of non-profit companies, however, are classified under tax law as non-assessable, non-exempt income. Offshore banking unit adjustment Offshore banking unit adjustment - Inform the relevant field with the amount of offshore banking unit adjustment. To get the effective 10% tax rate on offshore banking (OB) activity income, section 121EG of Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 reduces the assessable income and allowable deductions from OB activities so that an OBU's taxable income includes only the 'eligible fraction', currently 10/30, of its net income from OB activities. Calculation of the offshore banking unit adjustment ensures that the net income from OB activities is taxed at an effective tax rate of 10%. Show at Offshore banking unit adjustment the difference between the OB's net income from OB activities and the net income from OB activities multiplied by the eligible fraction: Offshore banking unit adjustment = Net OB income - (net OB income x eligible fraction).

To ensure the company receives the correct amount of credit for its PAYG instalments, make sure all of its activity statements are lodged before its income tax return is lodged. Lodge any outstanding activity statements even if the company has paid the instalments or had nothing to pay. The company is entitled to a credit for its PAYG instalments even if it has not actually paid a particular instalment.

A head company is entitled to claim credit for its own instalments plus any subsidiary member's instalments that are attributable to the period the subsidiary was a member of the consolidated or MEC group during the head company's income year. If a subsidiary was a member of a particular consolidated or MEC group for only part of the head company's income year, the head company can claim an amount of instalment credit that can be reasonably attributed to the period the subsidiary member was part of the head company's consolidated or MEC group. This element is the total amount of instalments as above for the head company and those claimed for subsidiary members. Instalment credits belonging to a subsidiary member not attributable to and claimed by a head company may be claimed by the subsidiary member against its assessment.

Provided it is not expenditure of a capital nature, the company may deduct the cost of repairs to property, plant, machinery or equipment used for producing assessable income or in carrying on a business for that purpose. Expenditure on repairs to property used partially for business or income-producing purposes - for example, where the property is also used for private purposes, or in the production of exempt income - is deductible only to the extent that is reasonable in the circumstances. If items are newly acquired, including by way of a legacy or gift, the cost of remedying defects in existence at the time of acquisition is generally of a capital nature. Expenditure incurred in making alterations, additions or improvements is of a capital nature and is not deductible when incurred.

Employers are entitled to a deduction for contributions made to a complying superannuation, provident, benefit or retirement fund, or retirement savings account (RSA), if the contribution is to provide superannuation benefits for employees or to provide benefits to an employee's dependants on the employee's death. Superannuation benefits mean payments for superannuation member benefits or superannuation death benefits. A deduction is allowable in the income year in which the contributions are made. There is no limit on the amount of contributions that can be claimed as a deduction by an employer contributing to a complying superannuation fund or RSA for employees under the age of 75 years.

The income-related adjustments that have to be subtracted from Total profit or loss to reconcile with Taxable income or loss. Do not include again amounts included at 'Section 46FA deductions for flow-on dividends' to 'Exempt income' here. Generally the amounts that are included at this field are income for accounting purposes but not assessable for income tax purposes. Include the following items at this label: - any excess of gross foreign source income, shown in the income labels, over the amount that represents assessable income. In calculating the excess, include dividends and other amounts that are not assessable because of sections 23AH, 23AI, 23AJ, 23AK and 99B(2A) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. Note that you must attach a Schedule 25A for the year if the company received dividends or other amounts covered by any of these provisions - any part of an unfranked distribution that is not assessable due to section 802-15 or 802-20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (these provisions are relevant to conduit foreign income) - other amounts of non-assessable non-exempt income (do not include demerger dividends or other amounts not shown at calculation of total profit or loss). - profits on disposal of assets used in R&D activities which are subject to the R&D tax concession included at 'Other gross income' calculation of total profit or loss. - Australian and foreign source capital gains for accounting purposes that have been included at 'Unrealised gains on revaluation of assets to fair value' or 'Other gross income' in calculation of total profit or loss. For Australian taxation purposes, include any net capital gain at 'Net capital gain' in reconciliation to taxable income or loss - any excess of a forex gain for accounting purposes, included at calculation of total profit or loss, over the assessable forex gain. See 'Foreign exchange gains and losses' on the guide on the ATO website for more information on the forex measures. Other deductible expenses TOFA deductions from financial arrangements not included in element "Expenses from financial arrangements" Other deductible expenses - Inform the relevant field with the amount of other deductible expenses. The amount of expense-related adjustments that are subtracted from 'Total profit or loss' to reconcile with 'Taxable income or loss'.

If the company is a life insurance company, include at this label the deduction it is entitled to if it receives a dividend from a Listed Investment Company (LIC), which includes a LIC capital gain amount. For more information, see Life insurance companies and friendly societies only in the Guide on the ATO website. Other companies are not entitled to this deduction. Also include at this label deductible forex losses to the extent that they have not been included in calculation of total profit or loss or in any other label reconciliation to taxable income or loss. See Foreign exchange gains and losses in the Guide on the ATO website for more information on the forex measures.

Enter all assessable income less deductions that equals the amount at this field 'Total profit or loss' plus or minus the reconciliation adjustments plus the amount shown at 'R&D tax offset, if chosen'. If the company has a taxable income of $1 or more, transfer the amount at 'Taxable income or loss' to 'Taxable or net income' in the calculation statement. The company's tax loss at 'Taxable income or loss' is the excess of its total deductions (except tax losses for earlier income years) over its total assessable income and net exempt income - see section 36-10 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. If the amount is a loss, ensure it is represented as a negative number. The company's net exempt income is calculated under section 36-20 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 and is not necessarily equal to the amount written at 'Exempt income'. Check that the amount at 'Other assessable income' includes the amount of net exempt income taken into account in calculating the company's tax loss. If the company has a tax loss at this label, print zero (0) at 'Taxable or net income' in the 'Calculation statement'. If the company has excess franking offsets that can be converted under section 36-55 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 into a tax loss to be carried forward, do not include at this field the amount of that tax loss. However, that amount should be taken into account in calculating the company's tax loss at 'Tax losses carried forward to later income years'. This means that a company may have a taxable income at 'Taxable income or loss' and a tax loss carried forward. Alternatively, if the company's total deductions exceed total assessable income and net exempt income, it would show an amount at this field that, disregarding section 36-55, would have been its tax loss for the income year. Purchases and other costs Purchases and other costs - Inform the relevant field with the amount of purchases and other costs. FORMER STS TAXPAYERS - If the company is eligible and continuing to use the STS accounting method, only write at Purchases and other costs the costs that the company has paid.

One of the following codes should be used: C - Cost M - Market selling value R - Replacement value If this is the company's first year in business, the value of its closing stock will be zero and therefore a code of C should be used. Otherwise this should be blank. Trading stock election Trading stock election - Inform the relevant field with the appropriate action code if applicable for trading stock election. The value that is elected must be reasonable. If an election is made, inform "Y" for yes in this field, otherwise leave blank. Total debt Total debt - Inform the relevant field with the amount of total debt. Calculate the average total debt by adding the opening and closing balances of the total debt of the company for the income year, and dividing this sum by 2. The total debt of a company includes all financial instruments and arrangements that were used by the company to provide funds for their operations and investments. The instruments and arrangements that are shown in this field include all loans, securities and instruments that give rise to deductible finance expenses, which include any of the following: - interest, a payment in the nature of interest, or a payment in substitution for interest - payments made for assignment(s) of the right to interest - a discount on a security in relation to a finance arrangement - an amount that is taken under a tax law to be an amount of interest in respect of a lease, a hire purchase arrangement or any other financial instrument specified by that law - any application or processing fee in respect of a finance arrangement - any finance expense in respect of a repurchase agreement or securities lending arrangement - any other form of yield associated with a finance arrangement - any such amount that, instead of being paid to a party to the arrangement, is dealt with in any way on behalf of that party. Commercial debt forgiveness Commercial debt forgiveness - Inform the relevant field with the amount of commercial debt forgiveness. The net amount of commercial debts forgiven must be applied to reduce the company's deductible revenue losses, net capital losses, certain undeducted revenue or capital expenditure and the cost base of certain CGT assets, in that order. Calculate the net forgiven amount as follows: 1. Determine the notional value of the debt. In the general case, this is the lesser of -the value of the debt at the time of forgiveness (assuming the company was solvent at that time and the time the debt was incurred), and - the value of the debt at the time of forgiveness (assuming solvency as above and no changes in market variables) plus any amounts that are allowable as deductions as a result of the debt forgiveness and that are attributable to market movements that occurred while the debt was held. Special rules apply in calculating the notional value of non-recourse debt and in respect of debt parking circumstances. 2. Calculate the gross forgiven amount of the debt by deducting from the notional value of the debt any amount of consideration provided in respect of the forgiveness. This consideration normally is the sum of the amounts of money the company is required to pay in respect of the forgiveness or, if property is required to be given, the market value of the property. Special rules apply in determining the consideration given for the forgiveness if a debt is forgiven in exchange for shares, if there are debt parking circumstances, or if money or property is applied for the benefit or at the direction of the creditor - see sections 245-65 and 245-70 of Schedule 2C to the ITAA 1936. Shareholders' funds Shareholders' funds - Inform the relevant field with the amount of shareholders' funds. This label is the net shareholders' funds as per the accounting records.

If there is a deficit balance in the franking account at the end of the income year, the company must lodge a Franking account tax return and pay Franking Deficit Tax(FDT) by the last day of the month following the end of the income year. If the company is a late balancing company that has elected to have its FDT liability determined on 30 June of financial year, it must lodge its franking account tax return on or before 31 July of financial year. If the company is a Pooled Development Fund (PDF) and its venture capital sub-account is in deficit at the end of the PDF's income year or immediately before it ceases to be a PDF, the company is liable to pay venture capital deficit tax. If the PDF has a liability to venture capital deficit tax, a Venture capital deficit tax return must be lodged. Note: - Shareholder loans and other advances made by private companies that are deemed dividends are not frankable unless a section in the ITAA 1936 or ITAA 1997 provides that the dividend can be franked. For example, where the Commissioner exercises a limited power to permit the deemed dividend to be franked, or where the deemed dividend is paid in connection with a relationship breakdown. - Deemed dividends may also arise when a shareholder (or associate of such shareholder) of a private company that has (or will have by a certain time) an unpaid present entitlement from a trust estate receives a payment or loan or has a debt forgiven in their favour by the trustee of the trust estate. However, this will not result in a debit to the franking account of the private company with the unpaid present entitlement. - A company determines whether its franking account needs adjustment, because the measures may affect imputation benefits available to shareholders, deny franking credits or give rise to additional franking debits. For more detailed information on the simplified imputation system, visit the ATO website. If the company was a subsidiary member of a consolidated or MEC group at the end of the income year and is completing a tax return because of any non-membership periods, inform in this field its franking account balance as at the end of the latest non-membership period if it is a surplus balance.

Under Division 7A of Part III of the ITAA 1936, loans by a private company to a shareholder or associates of a shareholder - unless they come within specified exclusions - are treated as assessable dividends to the extent of the distributable surplus including realised and unrealised profit. Advances or loans to shareholders or associates may represent a distribution of profits and may be assessed to the recipient as unfranked dividends. A loan made in the income year by a private company to a shareholder (or associate of a shareholder) may be repaid or put on a commercial footing, before the earlier of the due date for lodgment or the date of lodgment of the private company's income tax return for the year in which the loan is made, in order to prevent the loan from being treated as a deemed dividend.

If the total of rebates/tax offsets is more than the amount at Gross tax, reduce the amount of this label so that it equals the amount at Gross Tax. The aggregate amount this label cannot exceed Gross tax. The following tax offsets are subject to refundable tax offset rules: - R&D tax offset - film tax offsets under Division 376 of the ITAA 1997 - franking tax offsets claimed by life insurance companies to the extent that they relate to distributions paid on shares and other membership interests held on behalf of policy holders - franking credits claimed by endorsed income tax exempt charities and deductible gift recipients that are entitled to a refund of excess franking credits. These entities may complete the Application for refund of franking credits - Endorsed income tax exempt charities and deductible gift recipients rather than the company tax return to obtain a refund. The company may have a refundable amount to the extent that the total of these tax offsets exceeds the tax that would otherwise be payable by the company after all its other tax offsets are taken into account. Include the R&D tax offset at the element R&D tax offset and the excess of other refundable tax offsets at Other refundable credits and not at this label. Foreign income tax offset Foreign income tax offset - The amount of foreign tax offsets (FTO) limited to the lesser of foreign income tax paid or the amount of the FTO limit.
