Keypoints

Title	What are the changes in MYOB Tax?

In a 2019 individual tax return, we've created a new Deduction schedule(DDCTNS). You'll notice that we've removed some worksheets and made changes to other worksheets to integrate to the new schedule.

We've changed the way you enter data in the deductions label:

To enter data in any deduction label, you'll need to use the DDCTNS schedule or any supporting worksheets which will integrate to the DDCTNS schedule.
There is a limit on the maximum allowable records (line entries) for each deduction label.

See How do I fill in the new DDCTNS schedule?

When do I need a DDCTNS schedule

Key changes

You'll now enter deductions into the DDCTNS instead of directly in each label D1–D15 (apart from D11).
We've made this easier by updating a bunch of our worksheets. These will now integrate into the DDCTNS and the relevant return label. Learn how to use the new DDCTNS.
The DDCTNS schedule is lodged to the ATO, along with the 2019 Individual tax return.

When do you need a DDCTNS?

If you're claiming a deduction in at any of the individual return labels ticked below, you'll need to complete a DDCTNS schedule.

D11 - Deductible amount of undeducted purchase price of a foreign pension or annuity is not part of the deductions schedule.

This is because each foreign pension has their own undeducted purchase price (UPP), and the total amounts will show in D11, therefore a DDCTNS schedule is not required.

The ATO are likely to make some changes to this label in the future.

title	What do I enter in Entering data into the DDCTNS schedule?

You can no longer enter data directly into the deduction labels .

Depending on the deduction item, you'll need to use the new DDCTNS schedule or any supporting worksheets. Each of the supporting worksheets are integrated to the new DDCTNS schedule to help you report it to the ATO.

When you click on any of the deduction labels, you'll see either

the DDCTNS schedule or
the supporting worksheets like motor vehicle worksheet (mve) or depreciation worksheets, which will then integrate to the DDCTNS schedule.

You can see additional repeating fields in the schedule to record the individual descriptions and amounts.

The table shows the differences in data entry for 2018 and 2019, as well as the maximum entries allowed in each labelD1–D15, (apart from label D11). The DDCTNS opens if there is no supporting worksheet at the deduction labels.

Rolling over deductions from 2018 to 2019

To implement the DDCTNS schedule, we've made structural changes to the software and replaced some of the worksheets and dissection grids. Hence, the existing deductions schedule from 2018 will not rollover into 2019.

Tax office copy PDF

There is no tax office PDF version of the DDCTNS schedule.

Consolidating records

At D1, MYOB Tax consolidates records if you have more than 10 motor vehicle expense (mve) worksheets. Motor vehicles using the cents per km method integrate to the DDCTNS first, in descending km order, followed by the logbook method. This ensures the consolidated record doesn't breach the 5000km limit.

In the DDCTNS, you'll only see one data-entry row for each item. The ATO recommends that you group your expenses. For example, rather than listing individual stationery items (such as pen, pencil, stapler), just report the total stationery expense.

However, you can still add additional rows as required:

To add additional rows, click in the relevant field then click Image Added on the toolbar, or press CTRL+INSERT.
To delete rows you no longer need, click in the relevant row then click Image Added on the toolbar, or press CTRL+DELETE.

Where you exceed the maximum limit of records at D1 to D15, consolidate the remaining records with the description Consolidated remaining amounts. Refer to the specific item help topic for more details.

title	Preparing supporting worksheets

To help you in your calculations, we've updated a bunch of the supporting worksheets to integrate into the DDCTNS.

These worksheets are not lodged to the ATO, but will instead integrate into the DDCTNS.

You might notice that data entry fields for these items are unavailable in the DDCTNS. This is because the value in this field comes from a supporting worksheet.

To enter the data, click in the field and press Enter on the keyboard to open the worksheet. Fill in the worksheet as per normal.

To transfer the values from the worksheet into the DDCTNS, clickImage Addedon the toolbar or press F6 on the keyboard. The total integrates to the relevant item in the DDCTNS.

You'll need to create all other deductions worksheets for 2019.
