A: Notes to the Tax Statement
1. Non-Primary Production income (13U)
This component comprises interest and other assessable income that must be included in your tax return at Label 13U (non-primary production income).
This is your attributed amount of other assessable income from Australian sources (excluding capital gains). This amount includes rental income and indirect property investments.
2. Interest Withholding Tax and Non-resident Withholding Tax (13A)
Where you have indicated that you are a non-resident for Australian tax purposes, tax has been deducted from your distribution payments attributed to you during the year at the rate prescribed under the tax legislation.
3. TFN and ABN withholding tax
If you have not provided your Tax File Number (“TFN”), Australian Business Number (“ABN”) or claimed a relevant exemption, amounts have been withheld at the highest marginal rate (including the Medicare Levy) of 47% from the taxable components attributed to you. Any tax withheld should be included in Question 13R of your tax return and claimed as an offset against your tax payable.
4. Capital Gains
Capital Gains – Discount Method
The discount capital gains are your attributed amount of net capital gains from the disposal of investments that have been held for at least 12 months. These have been separated into the following categories:
- Capital gains – discount method (TAP) – these are capital gains from the sale of investments that are taxable Australian property; and
- Capital gains – discount method (NTAP) – these are capital gains from the sale of investments that are not taxable Australian property.
Australian resident taxpayers are required to include both categories of discount capital gains in the calculation of their net capital gain for the income year.
Capital Gains – Other Method
Other capital gains are your attributed amount of net capital gains to which the CGT discount does not apply. These have been separated into the following categories:
- Capital gains – other method (TAP) – these are capital gains from the sale of investments that are taxable Australian property; and
- Capital gains – other method (NTAP) – these are capital gains from the sale of investments that are not taxable Australian property.
Australian resident taxpayers are required to include both categories of other capital gains in the calculation of their net capital gain for the income year.
Other Capital Gains Distribution
This is the cash distributed to you in relation to all capital gains other than amounts already shown in the Cash Distributions column for capital gains.
Total Current Year Capital Gains (18A)
This is the total amount of capital gains attributed and/or distributed to you.
5. Tax Deferred
