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 2019.

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

Unused net exempt income

Your unused landcare and water facility tax offset carried forward from the previous year may need to be adjusted for any net exempt income. Exempt income is explained in Amounts that you do not pay tax on 2020.

If you do not have any unused net exempt income, go to Completing this item.

The landcare and water facility tax offset carried forward from a previous year is reduced by 30 cents for every dollar of unused net exempt income, provided you had taxable income for that year. 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.
