T2 Subtotal

Last updated 12 February 2019

Show at T2 the amount of tax payable after C Non-refundable non-carry forward tax offsets has been offset against B Gross tax.

T2 cannot be less than zero.

Work out the amount at T2 as follows:

  • if the amount at C is less than the amount at B (see example 6a)    
    • take C away from B
    • write the result at T2
     
  • if the amount at C is more than or equal to the amount at B (see example 6b)    
    • write 0 (zero) at T2 and T5
    • copy the amount at E to I Tax offset refunds (remainder of refundable tax offsets). I is mandatory. You must include an amount at I even if it is zero (if zero write 0).
