|---|---|
| T3 Subtotal | $1,500 | 
| E Refundable tax offsets | $500 | 
| T5 Tax payable | $1,000 | 
| I Tax offset refunds | $0 | 
SMSF T5 takes the $500 refundable tax offsets away from its T3 Subtotal of $1,500. The amount at T5 Tax payable is $1,000 (that is, $1,500 − $500).

Example: Calculating T5 Tax payable (refundable tax offsets greater than T3)
SMSF T5 writes the following amounts in its SMSF annual return:
Calculation of T5 Tax payable (refundable offsets greater than T3)
Calculation of T5 Tax payable (refundable offsets greater than T3)| Section D: Income tax calculation statement | Amount used in calculation |
