D1 Gross foreign income
Write at D1 the SMSF's gross assessable income from foreign sources in 2015–16. The amount at D1 should not be reduced by any loss or outgoing related to the income.
The SMSF's gross assessable foreign income includes income from foreign sources and any foreign tax paid on that income and without reducing it for any expenses related to that income. If the SMSF is unable to report the gross (pre-tax) amount of foreign source income on its share of net income from a trust, it can include the net (after-tax) amount at D1 instead.
Include at D1:
- dividends, supplementary dividends and other dividends from foreign companies (including New Zealand franking companies that provide Australian franking credits)
- interest from foreign sources
- foreign source income included in a share of net income from a trust (do not include this at M Gross trust distributions)
- foreign source income included in a distribution from a partnership (do not include this at I Gross distributions from partnerships)
- attributable income through the controlled foreign company (CFC) regime.
