myTax 2017 Other non-refundable tax offsets

How to determine your entitlement to other refundable tax offsets in myTax.

Last updated 11 June 2017

Other non-refundable tax offsets that you may be able to claim are:

  • interest from the infrastructure borrowings scheme
  • income received for work or services performed in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA) of the Timor Sea.

Interest from the infrastructure borrowings scheme

You may be able to claim a tax offset if you elected to have interest derived from your investment in infrastructure borrowings included as part of your assessable income.

Step 1

Work out the amount of interest you received from infrastructure borrowings.

Step 2

Multiply the amount from step 1 by the corporate tax rate percentage that applies to the entity in question. In most cases the corporate tax rate percentage will be 30%. However, if the entity you derived interest from is a small business entity, that is, an entity with an aggregate annual turnover of less than $10 million, the corporate tax rate percentage will be 27.5%. If you are unsure of the corporate tax rate percentage of the entity you derived interest from, contact the entity.

This is the tax offset for the interest you received.

Income received for work or services performed in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA) of the Timor Sea

To work out how to deal with your JPDA income, see Timor Sea Treaty - Joint Petroleum Development Area instructions.
