Example

Steven received a dividend statement from Teleco Ltd. His statement showed a franked amount of $42.00 and a franking credit of $18.00.

Note: This is just one example of a statement. There are many different formats.

Teleco Ltd 
Steven McKay 2 Cable Circle Telegraph Point NSW 2441
Security holder reference number: 018 012 111
Date paid: 30 October 2003
Fully franked final dividend for hte period ended 30 June 2003.
Franked at a 30% tax rate
Class description: Ordinary shares
Dividend rate per ordinary share: 7 cents
Number of ordinary shares: 600
Franking credit: $18
Unfranked amount: nil
Franked amount: $42
TFN quoted
Dividend paid: $42

Steven also received three other statements:

JT Corporate Unit Trust - his dividend statement showed $120.23 unfranked amount.

Koles Bier Pty Ltd - he did not give the company his TFN so his entitlement of $180 unfranked amount had $87.30 tax withheld (therefore he actually received $92.70).

SDW Managed Investment Fund - his distribution statement shows a franked dividend amount of $131 and a franking credit of $56.14.

Steven would complete the worksheet like this:

Transfer the totals for S, T and U to the application. Do not show any cents.

Transfer the total for V to your application. Show the cents.

Note: This amount includes both the amount received by Steven and the TFN amount withheld ($92.70 + $87.30).

Steven completes the dividend details at item 11 on his application like this:

11 Dividends
If you have more than one divided or distribution statement, see page 4-5 in the instructions.
Did you receive any dividend distributions from a managed fund or Australian franking credits for a New Zealand company?
See page 3 in the instructions.
Label S Unfranked amount: $300
Label T Franked amount: $173
Label U Franking credit: $74
Label V Tax file number amounts withheld from dividends: $87.30

Steven will receive a refund of $161.30 if he has no outstanding tax debts. This is made up of the amount withheld because he didn't provide his TFN ($87.30) plus his franking credit ($74).
