Section B: Income - Item 11

If you don't need to complete Section B, remember, if you've included expenses relating to the SMSF's tax-exempt income, to complete Section C: Deductible and non-deductible expenses.

Expenses that are normally deductible, are non-deductible when they relate to tax-exempt income

The Income tab comprises:

Label G - Did you have a capital gains tax (CGT) event during the year?

An Australian super find makes a capital gain or capital loss if a CGT event happens to any of its worldwide CGT assets.

Refer to the Guide to depreciating assets on the ATO website.

If the SMSF had a CGT event during the income year, or if the SMSF received a distribution of a capital gain from a trust, answer Yes at label G.

If the total capital loss or capital gain is greater than $10,000 or you elected to use the transitional CGT relief in 2017 and the deferred notional gain has been realised, complete and lodge a current year Capital gains tax schedule with the current year tax return.
Label M - Have you applied an exemption or rollover?

At label M select Y from the list if an exemption or rollover has been applied to any CGT event.

If you are completing the Net capital gains labels manually and you have applied an exemption, select the relevant code from the list. If you have made more than one exemption, select the code with the highest monetary value.

If you have used the Capital gains worksheet (g) to complete your asset disposal transactions, MYOB Tax will calculate the exemption code for you and integrate all relevant values to the main return.

Whether you enter the code directly at the label in the return or into the worksheet g, you will be prevented from selecting a code that is incompatible with the form type.

Refer to Capital gains worksheet (g) for information on data for Rollover/Retirement or General Exemption.

Label A - Net capital gain

If you answer Yes at label G or M an amount (or zero) must be entered at label A.

Use the Tax Capital gains worksheet 'g' to record all CGT events and the 'g' will calculate all capital gains and losses and apply current year losses and prior year losses and integrate all relevant values to the labels in the main return and, if the Populate BW checkbox is ticked, will also prepare for lodgment where required, the ATO Capital Gains Schedule (BW).

Capital Gains amounts integrate from the Capital Gains tax worksheet (g) or from the Capital Gains Schedule (BW). To open the ATO schedule directly select Yes at the Quick access to Tax Office CGT point and press [Enter].
