The ATO have introduced a new Deductions schedule (DDCTNS) to lodge with a 2019 individual tax return. See Claiming deductions on the ATO website.
If you're a claiming a deduction in your individual tax return, the DDCTNS is mandatory.
We've added the DDCTNS, and updated other worksheets to integrate to it.
We've changed the way you complete deductions:
- Enter the deductions details (except label D11), using the DDCTNS or any supporting worksheet that integrate to it.
- There is a limit to the number of records you can enter for each deduction label.
When do I need a DDCTNS schedule?
If you're claiming a deduction in any of the labels 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 label D11, therefore a DDCTNS schedule is not required.
The ATO are likely to make some changes to this label in a future tax year.
How do I fill in the new DDCTNS?
You can navigate to it from 2 places:
1 Select Preparation > Schedule
2 Select it from ATO Schedules.
You can no longer enter data directly into the deduction labels, apart from label D11.
Depending on the deduction item, you'll need to use the new DDCTNS schedule or any supporting worksheet. Each supporting worksheet integrates 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, that integrate to the DDCTNS schedule.
You can't see additional repeating fields in the schedule to record individual descriptions and amounts. Click Insert then press CTRL+INSERT to insert additional records. You can't insert records below deductions from the depreciate worksheet or the motor vehicle worksheet.
The ATO have provided the following guidance on the level of detail required:
The details to be provided should be at an appropriate level, that is stationery expense $x rather than by individual stationery items.
The table shows the differences in data entry for 2018 and 2019, as well as the maximum entries allowed in each label.

Rolling over deductions from 2018 to 2019
By adding the DDCTNS schedule, we had to replace some of the worksheets and dissection grids. This means that existing schedules and worksheets at deduction labels will not rollover into 2019, with the exception of motor vehicle worksheets (mve).
Tax office copy PDF
The ATO don't provide a tax office PDF version of the DDCTNS schedule.
For paper lodgments, print amounts at deduction items and action codes at D1, D3 and D4 in the main income tax return.
