Superannuation lump sum schedule (PL)

The Superannuation lump sum schedule (PL) is a multiple worksheet. It must be completed to conform to PLS requirements for lodging that schedule and so that the Tax program can collect the information necessary to calculate the correct offset (MYOB tax collects some information that the ATO has no need to collect as it is sent to the Government separately by the Fund). Refer to Superannuation lump sum schedule (PL).

Where there is only 1 PAYG payment summary completed, the relevant details will be defaulted to the labels in the main return and the PY will NOT be transmitted to the ATO via PLS.

Where there is more than 1 ETP schedule completed, on integration an 'M' for multiple will be integrated to the code box at item 4, and the sum of Taxable component will integrate to label I and all instances of PY will be lodged via PLS.
