  • Primary production (PP)

  • Non-PP income

  • Franked distributions

  • Franking credit

  • TFN amounts withheld

  • Australian franking credit from a NZ franking company

  • Capital gains

  • Share of credit for foreign resident capital gains withholding amounts

  • Attributed foreign income

  • Other assessable foreign source income

  • Foreign income tax offset
