Item 9 - Rent

The Rental property worksheet (rep) is a Tax only worksheet.

The rep contains non-ATO fields and columns needed by AE/AO Tax for the allocation of income and expenses.

These added fields and columns are not transmitted to the ATO or printed for the client. Instead, the ATO and the client print-out contain only the ATO fields and labels.

When shared to the partners' returns, we transfer a copy of the rep to the other partner or partners. The partner must then include that income in their own income tax return.

When completed we convert the rep to the ATO's Rental schedule (BR) format.

Property details example

We colour mandatory fields yellow. You must complete them.

If the property wasn't rented at all, leave the Rented from–to field blank.

If you don't enter the Rented from–to dates:

• a zero is pre-filled at the Number of weeks property was rented this year field, and
• 52 weeks defaults to the Number of weeks property was available for rent this year.

Entering from–to dates triggers auto-calculation of the number of weeks.

Income example

We've provided some non-ATO supplementary income fields. Entered amounts are totalled and shown at label B: Other rental related income.

These supplementary fields are for record keeping purposes only and aren't transmitted to the ATO.

Press Alt+S to open dissection grids.

Expenses example

If the partners used the property for a private purpose during the year:
–enter a default private use percentage (PU %) and we'll apply to all expenses expenses.

If private use applies to individual expenses only
–leave the PU % field empty. Then enter the PU % against those particular expenses.

Press Alt+S to open dissection grids.

Some grids have a link to other worksheets. For example:

• depreciation deductions from the depreciation worksheet (d)

• capital building allowance deduction from the sbw worksheet, and

• motor vehicle expenses from the mve worksheet.

Column behaviour

Gross amount	Is the total amount expended by the partnership for that expense.
Share	Where the field is greyed-out, the Share is auto-calculated when when you press the Share button. Note that the share for the Partnership is always 100%. The net income or loss must be distributed to the Partners in their respective share in the partnership at item 51: Statement of distribution.
Pte use %	If you've defaulted a PU %, we close this column of fields to edit. Otherwise, enter the PU % for the relevant expense.
Priv amount	Is calculated automatically if you've entered a PU%.
Net amount	Is the sum of the: Share less PU %

Sharing of income and expenses

Don't share income to the partners here. Do that in the Statement of Distribution at item 51.

For partnerships, the share % in this worksheet is set at 100%.

Clicking the Share button completes the expenses share column. Closing the schedule filters the totals through to the item 9: labels F, G, X and H.
