Tax: TRT.433085

Error in Trust return.

In regards to the TRT.433085, the ATO rule is that when Net Australian Income minus tax losses deducted is greater than $0, there cannot be any tax losses carried forward greater than $0.

For example:

  • Net Australian income: $1,000

  • Tax losses deducted: $500

  • Net income: $1,000 − $500 = $500

As the resulting net income is greater than $0, you cannot also have an amount of tax losses carried forward to later years.

We’re unable to provide guidance on the exact figures to enter; however, both amounts cannot be greater than $0. To meet ATO requirements, you will need to either:

  • Apply additional carried‑forward losses so that the net income becomes $0, or

  • Revisit the amount of losses carried forward so that there is no amount remaining to be carried forward to later years.

For further clarification, we recommend reaching out to the ATO for this calculation query.
