The ATO has introduced a new Deductions schedule (DDCTNS) to lodge with a 2019 individual tax return. See Claiming deductions on the ATO website.
If you're claiming a deduction in your individual tax return, the DDCTNS is mandatory.
- We've added the new Deductions schedule (DDCTNS) and updated worksheets that integrate with it.
- The way you enter deductions has changed. Learn how to use the new DDCTNS schedule.
When do you need a DDCTNS?
If you're claiming a deduction at any of the labels ticked below, you'll need to complete a DDCTNS.
| D1 Work-related car deductions |
| D9 Gifts or donations |
| D2 Work-related travel expenses |
| D10 Cost of managing tax affairs |
| D3 Work-related clothing, laundry and dry-cleaning expenses |
| D11 - Deductible amount of undeducted purchase price of a foreign pension or annuity * |
| 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 |
| D8 Dividend deductions |
How to 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 D1–D15, with the exception of label D11.
The DDCTNS schedule opens if there is no supporting worksheet at the deductions labels.
You can only see one data-entry row. To add a row, press CTRL+INSERT. To delete a row, press CTRL+DELETE.
The ATO has recommended that you group your expenses, for example, you have a total stationery expense rather than individual stationery items.
The table below shows the:
- differences between 2018 and 2019 schedules/worksheets
- maximum entries allowed for each label.
