Don't use any of the worksheets in Individual tax return instructions to complete question A3.

Don't lodge the worksheets with your Individual tax return 2024.

Throughout the instructions when we refer to ‘question X’, we mean the question number in the Tax return for individuals 2024 or the Tax return for individuals (supplementary section) 2024.

Use Tax time definitions for the specific meaning of the terms we use in this workbook.

Why we need information at question A3

We use question A3 to ensure we correctly calculate your entitlement to a government super contribution. We need to work out your eligible income and assessable income.

For example, we will treat partnership distributions you show at question 13 as ineligible income, unless you tell us otherwise by completing question A3.
