For non-residents (those taxpayers who are not Australian residents for tax purposes) do not include interest at this item where the financial institution deducted tax at source, as no further tax is payable on this income in Australia. However, if withholding tax was not deducted from the interest earned, then that interest should be entered at this item. When the estimate is prepared the interest income will be taxed at 10 cents in the dollar.

Early payment interest credit: This is the total amount of interest received from the ATO in respect of payments of various tax liabilities made 10 or more days before the payment was due. Where an early payment interest credit was claimed in the previous year's return, that amount will be rolled over to this field and be included in the Interest income declared for the current year.
