I had always assumed that considering my share broker has my TFN that it would all be worked out automatically for me, the same as they already can with dividend income. But I go to MyGov to fill out the details and get met with a form asking me to manually enter CGT details:
Above it’s got a list of a bunch of transactions, presumably from the large number of shares I sold earlier this year to pay for a downpayment on a house (the first time I’ve sold shares after a few years of buying).
From the company I buy shares through, I’ve got an “Interim Tax Summary Report” which has fields very similar to those in this sample PDF I found online:
If that sample was my actual report, would that be sufficient information to submit the three fields shown on MyGov with the following?
- Total current year capital gains: 36,767 (17,505+19,262)
- Net capital gain: 26,222 (17,505+9,631-914)
- Net capital loss carried forward to later income years: 0 (because Net capital gain is > 0)
And the “Wealth+ Management Fees” number (0 in this example, its equivalent not 0 in my real report) would go as a deduction under “Dividend deductions”?
edit: I have just realised that in my real one, (Long gains + short gains - losses - discount gains) is > 0. That makes me even more lost than I was to begin with.
Looks reasonable. I’ve always used an accountant though.
