Item 40 - Closing stock (partnership return)

We've provided a generic schedule at this item for dissection and record keeping purposes.

The amount at label D must reflect an amount calculated for tax purposes.

Small business entities only need to account for changes in the value of trading stock if the value of stock on hand at the start of the income year and a reasonable estimate of the value of stock on hand at the end of the income year varies by more than $5,000.
