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.
- There's a new Deductions schedule (DDCTNS) and some worksheets have been updated to integrate with it.
- The way you enter deductions has changed. Learn how to complete the new schedule.
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.
| D1 Work-related car deductions |
| D8 Dividend deductions |
| D2 Work-related travel expenses |
| D9 Gifts or donations |
| D3 Work-related clothing, laundry and dry-cleaning expenses |
| D10 Cost of managing tax affairs |
| D4 Work-related self-education expenses |
| D12 Personal superannuation contributions |
| D5 Other work-related expenses |
| D13 Deduction for project pool |
| D6 Low-value pool deduction |
| D14 Forestry-managed investment scheme deduction |
| D7 Interest deductions |
| D15 Other deductions |
| D11 - Deductible amount of undeducted purchase price of a foreign pension or annuity 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. | ||
How do I use 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.

Data entry from a supporting schedule
Item D5 - Other work-related expenses

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.
