To ensure that your tax return is filled out correctly and to prevent delays with your assessment, you need to complete your tax return by following these instructions.

Step 1

Complete the Schedule of additional information.

Step 2

Attach your completed schedule to page 3 of your tax return. Print X in the YES box at Taxpayer's declaration question 2a on page 8 of your tax return.

Using e-tax 

To complete a schedule using e-tax, click on the Additional information button in the e-tax interview screen - this button can be accessed on the Spouse details screen (click on Spouse details in the navigator bar). A blank notepad will be displayed. Enter the heading 'Schedule of additional information - item 19 - joint petroleum development area' followed by the appropriate sentence on the last page (A, B, C or D). For example, if you were a resident of Australia for the whole year you complete the schedule as follows:

Schedule of additional information - item 19 - joint petroleum development area

I was a resident of Australia for the whole year.
