myTax 2018 Landcare and water facility

This offset applies only if your income tax liabilities from earlier years have not absorbed all of the excess or unused landcare and water facility tax offset available to you. The amount of your excess or unused tax offset is shown on your notice of assessment or amended notice of assessment for the year ending 30 June 2017.

There is no limit to the number of years you can carry forward any balance of landcare and water facility tax offset.

Completing this section

You will need your notice of assessment or amended notice of assessment for the year ending 30 June 2017 that should show the amount of your excess or unused landcare and water facility tax offset.

Work through Worksheet 1 below to determine the tax offset amount you are entitled to claim.

1. Show the amount of any excess or unused landcare and water facility tax offset carried forward from a previous year at row a in Worksheet 1.

   Unused net exempt income is any net exempt income left after deducting any tax losses of earlier income years from that year's net exempt income.
   For more information, see Amounts that you do not pay tax on.
   No - show zero (0) at rows b and c in Worksheet 1. Go to step 4.
   Yes - show the amount of unused net exempt income at row b in Worksheet 1. Go to step 3.
