Calculation statement and the amount for labels T5 and S

About the calculation statement

This statement works out the tax liability (if any) where there is a taxable or net income. It also takes into account amounts that reduce the tax liability. The final outcome is the net amount the company must pay or we will refund.

We use the information you provide in the Calculation statement to calculate the Commissioner’s instalment rate and the Commissioner’s instalment amount for taxpayers under the PAYG instalment system.

Complete the Calculation statement as accurately as possible, so the rate and instalment amounts we calculate result in a reliable estimate of your tax payable.

To work through the Calculation statement on the tax return, begin with the right-hand column at the top.

A, B, T1, T5, I and S of the Calculation statement are mandatory for legal or ATO purposes. Complete these to facilitate smooth processing of the tax return.
