Amendment schedule (amd)

The Amendment Details Schedule allows the tax agent to describe the reasons for the amendment, the amendment type (ATO error or taxpayer error) and indicates the amendment number (1-9). When lodged, the electronic amendment comprises a re-transmission of:

the income tax return with amended information and re-calculated values and
new schedules and
a new Amendment Details schedule.

Amendment details must be included in each transmission of an amended return. A maximum of nine amendments may be lodged electronically in any tax year for each tax return i.e. the first amendment, and up to eight subsequent amendments.

Each subsequent amendment requires a new amendment details schedule with a reason for the amendment and the next amendment number in sequence.

The amendment details cannot be changed by a subsequent amendment. See Amending Lodged Returns for more information.
