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.

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.

By introducing the new DDCTNS, we've changed or replaced some worksheets and grids. As a result, only the following worksheets will rollover to 2019:

• Depreciation worksheet (d)
• Motor vehicle worksheet (mve)
• Personal superannuation contributions worksheet (psc)

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

The ATO PDF version of the DDCTNS is not available and therefore not included in the ATO-PDF copy print. For paper lodgments, print amounts at deduction items and action codes at D1, D3 and D4 in the main income tax return.
