| D11 - Deductible Amount of Undeducted Purchase Price of a Foreign Pension or Annuity is not part of the deductions schedule. This is because D11 has only one label with no changes to show in the main tax return. The ATO are looking at making some changes for this label in the future. |

Entering data in the DDCTNS scheduleYou'll no longer be able to enter data via the deduction labels. All the information must be entered - using the DDCTNS schedule or
- supporting worksheets like motor vehicle worksheet(mve) or depreciation worksheets which will then integrate to the DDCTNS schedule.
Each of these schedules are integrated to the new DDCTNS schedule to help you report it to the ATO. You can see additional repeating fields in the schedule to record the individual descriptions and amounts. There is a limit on the maximum allowable records for each deduction label.
