What you need
- All your payment summaries for the 2007–08 income year

You need to know
Ten per cent of your income earned for work or services performed in the JPDA is taxed in Australia. Your payer should have deducted Australian tax at the minimum rate of 29% on 10% of your JPDA income.
When completing D1 to D5, you show only 10% of your expenses relating to your work in the JPDA. Read the note Did you have work-related expenses?
What you need to do
Before you start on item 1 of your tax return, complete worksheet 3 for each payment summary that includes JPDA income. The example below has been provided to help you fill in worksheet 3.
Example
Peter, a labourer, was a resident of Timor-Leste for the whole year. His payment summary shows a gross payment of $120,000 and tax withheld of $3,480. His sole source of income was from the JPDA. Peter had work-related expenses of $200.
Peter will claim $20 (that is, 10% of $200) as his work-related expenses.
Peter's Australian tax payable is $3,474.20. Therefore, he will receive a tax refund of $5.80, that is, $3,474.20 (tax payable) minus $3,480 (tax withheld).
Peter uses worksheet 3.
