Who should use these instructions?
Use these instructions if you are an individual who completed items 14, 15 or 16 on your tax return (supplementary section). You may also need to use these instructions if you have a net loss from a business activity carried on in partnership with others.
We are moving progressively to electronic methods to provide instructions and tax return lodgment options for taxpayers with more complex tax affairs. For this reason, from 2013 onwards, if you are required to complete the Business and professional items schedule you cannot lodge a paper tax return.
