This question is about reportable fringe benefits amounts that you received. Do not show any benefit less than $3,773.
The government has made changes to the treatment of fringe benefits under the income tests for net medical expenses tax offset, dependant (invalid and invalid carer) tax offset, zone and overseas forces tax offset, seniors and pensioners tax offset, and low income superannuation tax offset. The amount at W item IT1 will no longer be adjusted down when we calculate these tax offsets. The same change applies to the amount at label S in the Spouse details section of the tax return.
Did you receive any reportable fringe benefits amounts of $3,773 or more?
No |
Write 0 at both N and W item IT1, then go to question IT2 Reportable employer superannuation contributions 2018, or return to main menu Individual tax return instructions 2018. |
