How to Enter a Vanguard Personal Investor Annual Tax Report in Navexa

Learn how to enter Vanguard Personal Investor Annual Tax Report components into Navexa when your Vanguard report combines multiple ETFs into one consolidated tax report.

Vanguard Personal Investor provides one Annual Tax Report for the account, which combines the tax components from all your ETFs and funds into consolidated totals.

This means you can't enter the consolidated Vanguard figures against a single holding in Navexa. Navexa records annual tax components separately against each ETF or fund.

Instead, you'll need to use the detailed per-investment section later in the Vanguard report and enter the components manually for each holding.

Find The Detailed Section

The first pages of the Vanguard Personal Investor Annual Tax Report show the consolidated tax totals for the whole account.

Do not enter these totals against one holding in Navexa.

Continue through the report until you reach the detailed tax information. In current Vanguard reports, this section changes to a landscape page layout and begins with:

Australian interest income and tax information

The pages that follow break the tax information down by individual investment code.

You'll use these detailed tables to complete each holding separately in Navexa.

For this workflow, use Enter manually in Navexa. Don't try to import the complete Vanguard Personal Investor Annual Tax Report as an AMIT statement because the PDF contains tax information for multiple holdings.

Open The AMIT Form

To enter the components:

  1. Open Tax Reporting from the left-hand menu.

  2. Select Taxable Income.

  3. Choose the relevant financial year.

  4. Find the ETF or fund under Trust Income.

  5. Select Enter AMIT Statement or Update AMIT Statement.

  6. Select Enter manually.

Complete the following fields using the figures for that individual holding in your Vanguard report.

Don't also enter Vanguard's Interest income into Navexa's separate Interest field. For this Vanguard report, that amount forms part of 13U.

Find Trust distributions from foreign source and use the row for the individual investment.

Navexa calculates 18A — Net Capital Gain and 18H — Total Current Year Capital Gain automatically.

Do not copy Vanguard's consolidated 18A or 18H amounts into an individual holding.

Also do not enter the separate Capital gains / (losses) from disposal of assets section into the AMIT form. Navexa calculates gains and losses from your recorded trades separately.

Foreign CGT Offsets

If the Vanguard capital gains tables contain any of these amounts, add them to the holding's other foreign income tax offsets.

AMIT Cost Base Adjustments

Near the end of the Vanguard report, find:

AMIT cost base net amount information

Use the row for the individual investment.

Vanguard Tax Report Column

Where To Enter In Navexa AMIT

Excess (reduce cost base)

AMIT Decrease (AMIT Excess)

Shortfall (increase cost base)

AMIT Increase (AMIT Shortfall)

Do not use the consolidated AMIT summary earlier in the Vanguard report.

That summary can combine adjustments from multiple ETFs. Navexa needs the adjustment for each individual holding.

Leave These Fields Blank

For this Vanguard Personal Investor workflow, don't enter the same amounts again into:

  • Tax Deferred

  • Non Assessable

  • Interest

The relevant cost base adjustment is captured through AMIT Increase or AMIT Decrease, while Vanguard's trust interest component has already been included in 13U.

Check Uncommon Components

Your Vanguard report may contain additional components that don't have a matching field in the standard Navexa AMIT form.

These can include:

  • Primary production income

  • Other deductions

  • Attributable income CFC

  • Non-resident withholding tax

  • Australian franking credits from a New Zealand company

If one of these contains a non-zero amount, don't enter it into another Navexa field just because the wording looks similar.

Follow the relevant Navexa guidance or confirm the treatment with your accountant or tax adviser.

Save And Repeat

Select Save Updated Distributions once you've entered the components for the holding.

Then repeat the process for every ETF or fund included in your Vanguard Personal Investor Annual Tax Report.

Always use the individual investment rows in the detailed section, not the consolidated totals shown at the beginning of the report.

Remember, this is general information, not personal financial advice.
