Deleting an Amended Return
After 30 March each year, FBT returns are processed in the tax ledger for the current tax year. Prior to that date they are processed and if necessary amended in the ledger for the prior tax year. Refer to Amending FBT returns.

When a return has been lodged the return details are read only. Assessment and lodgment details may still be edited.

Using the Amend function, a lodged Income or Fringe Benefits Tax Return may be changed and then lodged via ELS.

About amending Returns

Most Front Cover Details may not be edited. Do not use the Amendment procedure to change these details. For Front Cover Names and Addresses changes, do NOT amend the return.

You need to lodge a CU form.

UI Text Box

type	note

(For MYOB AE, this applies to Practice Manager users.)
Front Cover Details that are changed separately from a return will flow through to that return when it is opened. If this occurs when the return is opened for amended, the Front Cover changes will be transmitted to the ATO. However, the changes will not be used in processing the amendment nor will they update ATO records.

Schedules lodged with the original return may be amended.
Additional or new schedules may be added to an amended return.
Each amended Income tax return requires the preparation of an Amendment details schedule (amd) giving the reasons for the amendment. When amending an FBT return the reasons for the amendment are entered into the return.
Do NOT amend a return simply to change EFT details. If the only change to the return relates to the EFT phone the ATO 137286 Fast Key Code 1351. If there are other changes in addition to EFT changes to be made, then both changes to the income tax return and the EFT details may be included in the Amendment.
An amendment can be lodged electronically when the original was lodged manually or was not lodged from your Tax Ledger.
(AO) The Year End Procedures will only bring forward to the next year's tax ledger the latest Amended return.
(AE, Series 6 & 8) The Year End Procedures (front cover year end, lodgment year end and retain schedule data routines) will only bring forward to the next year's tax ledger the latest Amended return.
Up to 9 amendments may be lodged.
