Include at X item 1 other amounts that are not included in the second and third columns in part A relating to Australian owned R&D that are needed to calculate the company's aggregate research and development amount (as defined in subsection 73B(1) of the ITAA 1936).

The aggregate research and development amount is calculated by reference to the 12 month period that is the tax offset year or year of income.
