What you need to do
Show all your Australian income (including all JPDA income) and deductions as instructed by TaxPack or e-tax. Use worksheet 4 or worksheet 5 to calculate your tax offset. Use worksheet 4 if the only Australian income you had was JPDA income; otherwise, use worksheet 5. If you are using worksheet 5, example 3 will assist you.
