How to Enter Betashares Direct Annual Tax Statement Components in Navexa

Betashares Direct provides one consolidated Annual Tax Statement covering the investments in your account.

However Navexa records AMIT tax components against each individual ETF or managed fund holding. This means you cannot enter the consolidated Betashares Direct totals against a single holding.

You will need to request Betashares Direct's detailed CSV, calculate the annual totals for each ETF symbol separately, then enter those totals into the matching holding in Navexa.

You will need:

Your normal Betashares Direct Annual Tax Statement combines the tax components for all applicable investments in your account.

On the Betashares Direct Annual Tax Statement go to Part C. Betashares Direct notes that detailed tax components are available on request.

You need to contact Betashares Direct through its in-app support and request:

Betashares Direct will provide this as a CSV file.

Their CSV normally contains one row for each distribution, followed by a large number of tax-component columns.

Each ETF needs its own annual totals in Navexa.

For example, if your CSV contains:

you must calculate one set of totals for A200, another for BGBL, and another for ARIA.

In the CSV, filter the symbol column so that only the ETF you are working on is visible.

For example:

ARIA

Use the distribution's ex-date, not its payment date, when deciding which financial year it belongs to.

This is important around 30 June.

A distribution may have an ex-date in June but not be paid until July. For tax reporting, it still belongs to the financial year containing the ex-date.

When you filter the CSV to one ETF, make sure your totals include only the visible rows for that ETF.

In Excel, a normal SUM formula can still include rows hidden by a filter. This could accidentally include tax components from your other ETFs.

Excel tip: If you are totalling a filtered column, use SUBTOTAL rather than SUM, for example:

=SUBTOTAL(9, range)

Alternatively, copy the rows for the ETF you are working on into a separate worksheet before calculating the totals.

Once you have calculated the annual totals for one ETF:

Navexa will open the Add AMIT Statement Data form.

Your Betashares Direct CSV contains the source figures. In the next steps, we’ll show you exactly which CSV fields correspond to each row in this form.

The key thing to remember: you are entering the annual total for this ETF into the Net Amount column. You do not enter the individual distribution amounts shown to the right.

Use the guide below as a quick reference while entering your figures. It shows:

Use the total for the individual ETF only.

Do not use the consolidated Betashares Direct account total.

This is the part most likely to cause confusion.

The Betashares CSV spreads the capital-gain information across several columns.

Navexa requires you to combine those columns into three entry fields.

Add:

tap_discounted_capital_gains_trusts

plus

ntap_discounted_capital_gains_trusts

These are columns AM + AN.

Enter the result into: Capital Gains - Discounted Method

Add all six columns from AO through AT:

Enter the combined result into: Capital Gains - Other Method

For this Betashares Direct CSV workflow, enter the same total that you entered under Capital Gains - Discounted Method.

You can also check this amount by calculating: 18H − 18A

You do not manually enter:

Navexa calculates these from the capital-gain components above.

Use the Betashares CSV values as a reconciliation check:

Once you have entered the three capital-gain fields:

Navexa 18A should match Betashares column S.

Navexa 18H should match Betashares column T.

If they do not match, stop and check your calculations before saving.

The most common causes are:

Column W is:

part_a_20f

It is not the Foreign Income Tax Offset.

Always check the CSV heading instead of relying only on the spreadsheet column position.

If part_a_20f contains an amount, see What to Do if Your AMIT Statement Includes 20F before entering your statement.

Enter the annual total belonging to that ETF only.

These amounts may be small, but they are important. They adjust the holding's cost base and can affect the capital gain calculated when you eventually sell the investment.

Do not estimate or apportion a consolidated Betashares amount between ETFs.

The Betashares Direct CSV may contain values under:

Although the CSV column names look similar to fields in Navexa, these amounts are already represented elsewhere in the components you have entered.

The trust interest amount is already included in the trust income reported through:

part_a_13u which you entered as: Share of non-primary production income (13U)

Entering interest_trusts again into Navexa's Interest field would count that income twice.

The relevant cost-base movements are already captured through:

cost_base_increase_amount

and

cost_base_decrease_amount

which you entered under: AMIT Increase and AMIT Decrease.

Entering the tax-deferred or non-assessable figures again into similarly named Navexa fields can double-count the same adjustment.

Before selecting Save Updated Distributions, check the annual totals for the ETF.

In particular:

18A in Navexa = column S part_a_18a for that symbol

and

18H in Navexa = column T part_a_18h for that symbol

If both match, your capital-gain mapping is a strong indication that you have entered the components correctly.

Then select Save Updated Distributions.

Repeat the process separately for every applicable ETF in your Betashares Direct account.

Navexa takes the annual totals you enter and allocates those tax components across the distributions already recorded against that ETF for the financial year.

Because of this, the amounts shown against an individual distribution row in Navexa may not exactly match an individual row in the Betashares CSV.

That is not necessarily a problem.

The important comparison is the annual total for the individual ETF.

Compare:

Navexa's annual total for GARP

with

the total of the GARP rows in the Betashares CSV

Do not compare one ETF against the consolidated total from the original Betashares Direct Annual Tax Statement.

Suppose the detailed CSV for one ETF contains two distribution rows.

After adding the relevant columns, you calculate:

Discounted capital gains

$2.62 + $47.98 = $50.60

Other capital gains

$15.92 + $291.94 = $307.86

You would enter:

Navexa should then calculate:

18A

$50.60 + $307.86 = $358.46

and:

18H

$358.46 + $50.60 = $409.06

You can compare those calculated figures against:

If the Betashares CSV also reports $358.46 and $409.06, the capital-gain section reconciles.

The AMIT form is for ETF, managed fund and trust distribution tax components.

Do not use it to record:

Those are recorded separately in Navexa.
