How to request an amendment

If you need to change the dividend or distribution details you lodged with us, write to us explaining the change you require.

In your letter include:

  • your tax file number
  • your contact details
  • the year of the refund of franking credits application you want to amend
  • an explanation of the change you require.

Make sure you sign and date the letter and include the following declaration
'I declare that all the information I have given in this letter is true and correct.'

If you claimed too much franking credit, you might have to repay the extra amount with interest.

If your income has increased, check whether you need to lodge a tax return as a result of the increase.

Post your amendment letter to:
