You may be able to claim a tax offset if you elected to have interest derived from your investment in infrastructure borrowings included as part of your assessable income.
Step 1
Work out the amount of interest you received from infrastructure borrowings.
Step 2
Multiply the amount from step 1 by the corporate tax rate percentage that applies to the entity in question.
In most cases the corporate tax rate percentage will be 30%. However, if the entity you derived interest from is a small business entity, that is, an entity with an aggregate annual turnover of less than $2 million, the corporate tax rate percentage will be 28.5%. If you are unsure of the corporate tax rate percentage of the entity you derived interest from, contact the entity.
This is the tax offset for the interest you received. Keep a record of this amount. Read on.
Part B
Did you receive income for work or services performed in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA) of the Timor Sea?
