Rebate income 2012

Work out your rebate income and if you're eligible for the seniors and pensioners tax offset at question T1.

Last updated 31 May 2012

We work out what we call 'rebate income' to determine whether you are eligible for either the senior Australians tax offset at T2 or pensioner tax offset at T3.

Your rebate income is the total amount of your taxable income plus the following amounts if they apply to you:

  • adjusted fringe benefits amount (total reportable fringe benefits amounts multiplied by 0.535)
  • reportable employer superannuation contributions
  • deductible personal superannuation contributions
  • your net financial investment loss (the amount by which your deductions attributable to financial investments exceeded your total financial investment income)
  • your net rental property loss (the amount by which your deductions attributable to rental property exceeded your rental property income).

To work out your rebate income, use the following worksheet.
