    Overview

    This chapter details the types of records you need to keep to substantiate your tax assessment.

    Proving your assessment

    You will need to keep receipts, invoices, ledgers and other accounting records of a company or trust that relate to the calculation of its notional assessable income.

    In addition, you will need to keep details of your interest in the company, the interests of your associates and how you worked out the amount you included in your assessable income.

    This chapter also explains the substantiation requirements of the active income test, the use of offshore information notices and the keeping of records of elections.
