Australian income
These details provide a break up of U item 13 Non-primary production income and the information is necessary for those investors who use the Application for refund of franking credits for individuals 2010 (NAT 4098) and Refund of franking credits instructions and application for individuals 2010 (NAT 4105).
Show the net income for each item. The net income is either:
- the gross income less expenses directly relevant to that income, or
- the gross income less expenses directly relevant to that income and indirect expenses that are apportioned against all income components. Expenses indirectly incurred in respect of deriving the income, for example, trust operating expenses can be shown here or separately at Less other allowable trust deductions.
Indirect trust expenses should be apportioned against all income components. The Less other allowable trust deductions item uses the same information as the Other trust deductionsnot included elsewhere field in version 8.0 of the AIIR.

Discounted capital gain
If the trust's capital gain has been reduced by the 50% discount show the part of the discounted capital gain that is included in the share of net income of the unit holder. In our example, the $5 amount shown in the Tax paid or tax offsets column is the foreign tax paid on the discounted capital gain that is included in the share of net income of the unit holder.

CGT concession amount
The CGT concession amount is identified as the amount referred to in subsection 104-71(4) of the ITAA 1997. Frozen indexation amounts paid to the unit holder should not be shown as CGT concession amounts on the distribution statement.
This amount comprises the non-assessable CGT discount amount paid to the unit holder. Also included is the amount of any capital losses (including unapplied net capital losses carried forward from previous years) applied by the trust (or another trust in a chain of trusts) to reduce capital gains made, which is reflected in the payment to the unit holder. Refer to items 1 and 7 in the table in subsection 104-71(4) of the ITAA 1997.

Capital gains: other method
This item shows the part of the capital gain included in the share of net income of the unit holder where the trustee has not applied the indexation or discount method. This item, which is required to allow an investor to make choices about the order in which to deduct capital losses, forms part of the calculation of net capital gain, and is also relevant for unit holders preparing CGT schedules.
In our example, the $2 amount shown in the Tax paid or tax offsets column is the foreign tax paid.

Distributed capital gains
This item represents the actual cash amount of capital gains distributed and includes the non-assessable CGT concession amount. It is the sum of the Cash distribution column for capital gains. This figure is not taken into account in working out the unit holder's net capital gain but it allows fund managers to reconcile the net cash distribution amount paid to the unit holder.
The total Distributed capital gains (that is, the Cash distribution plus the Foreign income tax offset) equals the Total current year capital gains in part B.

Net capital gain
This item is the sum of the Taxable amount column of capital gains and represents the net capital gain under the various methods included in the share of net income of the unit holder. In our example, this is $155, which is transferred directly to A item 18 on the Tax return for individuals (supplementary section) 2010 as discussed in Part A.
Where the individual unit holder has no current year capital losses or unapplied prior year net capital losses, this figure can be used directly to complete A item 18. If the unit holder has current year capital losses or unapplied prior year net capital losses to offset, they would need to refer to our publication Guide to capital gains tax 2010 or the shorter and simpler Personal investors guide to capital gains tax 2010.

Foreign income
For the 2009-10 year funds may choose to consolidate the foreign income components into one line. Capital gains made by Australian residents from foreign sources are not assessable foreign income and should not be shown in this section of part C but in the capital gains section of part C.

Other non-assessable amounts
The headings used are based on the terminology used in sections 104-70 and 104-71 of the ITAA 1997.
'Tax-exempted amounts' are amounts referred to in subsection 104-71(1). Unit holders are not required to adjust either the cost base or reduced cost base of their units for these amounts.
'Tax-free amounts' are amounts referred to in subsection 104-71(3). Unit holders are required to reduce the reduced cost base of their units by these amounts but not their cost base. These amounts now only include infrastructure borrowing amounts under section 159GZZZZE and exempt income arising from shares in a pooled development fund under sections 124ZM and 124ZN of the ITAA 1936.
'Tax-deferred amounts' are amounts referred to in subsection 104-70(1) of the ITAA 1997. Unit holders are required to reduce both the cost base and reduced cost base of their units by these amounts. Building allowance amounts paid on or after 1 July 2001 are now treated as tax-deferred amounts.
'CGT concession amounts' are shown in the capital gains section to allow reconciliation of capital gains.

Other amounts deducted from trust distribution
TFN amounts withheld
This item allows the cash amount to be reconciled in part C.
Other expenses
This item allows the cash amount to be reconciled in part C. This is used for expenses incurred by unit holders, for example, management fees, and not deductions allowable to the trustees that are taken into account in the net income calculation under section 95 of the ITAA 1936 and are discussed at paragraph 12 above.
Only the deductible expenses component of this amount should feed through to part A, Y item 13.

'Please retain this statement for income tax purposes.'
The use of this wording exempts the fund manager from the requirement to include the words 'Payment summary' on the distribution statement where TFN amounts have been withheld from the investment. Our position on this and other PAYG withholding payer issues was provided to IFSA on 21 December 2001.
