Creating a Taxable Income Report

Use Navexa’s Taxable Income report to review income, dividends, trust distributions, foreign income, AMIT statuses and ATO myTax labels for an AUD portfolio.

Use the Taxable Income report to review your recorded investment income for a selected financial year and map it to Australian Taxation Office (ATO) myTax labels.

Navexa Creating a Taxable Income Report screen

Navexa calculates the report totals from the income records and tax components recorded in your portfolio. Report accuracy depends on those records being complete and correct.

Unconfirmed dividends and distributions still need review. For ETFs, managed funds and trusts, enter the final annual tax statement components where required; cash distributions alone may not contain the final tax breakdown.

Before using the report to prepare your tax return, compare the figures with your broker records, dividend statements and final annual tax statements. Speak with a registered tax agent if you need advice about your circumstances.

What The Report Does

The Taxable Income report breaks down your investment income for a selected Australian financial year.

It helps you review income from:

  • Dividends from shares

  • Trust, ETF and managed fund distributions

  • Franking credits

  • Foreign income

  • Foreign tax offsets

  • Cash interest

  • Crypto income

The report maps these amounts to relevant ATO tax return labels, including labels used in myTax.

This report is focused on taxable income from dividends, distributions, interest and other income entries. It is not the same as the Capital Gains Tax report.

Capital gains distributed by ETFs, managed funds or trusts may appear in the

Taxable Income report as trust distribution components. Capital gains or losses from selling your own holdings are reviewed in the Capital Gains Tax report.

Who Can Use It

The Taxable Income report is designed for Australian tax reporting.

ATO tax reports in Navexa require an AUD-base portfolio. If a portfolio uses USD, EUR, GBP or another non-AUD base currency, Australian tax reports will not be available for that portfolio.

This does not stop you from tracking foreign holdings. It means the selected portfolio must use AUD as its base currency for ATO reporting.

Before You Review It

Before relying on the Taxable Income report, make sure your portfolio data is complete.

Check that:

  • Your trades have been imported or entered correctly.

  • Your dividends and distributions have been recorded.

  • Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) entries have been checked where relevant.

  • ETF, managed fund and trust income has been reviewed.

  • AMIT or AMMA statement data has been entered where required.

  • Foreign income and withholding tax amounts have been checked.

  • You have selected the correct financial year.

AMIT stands for Attribution Managed Investment Trust. AMMA stands for Attribution Managed Investment Trust Member Annual statement.

ETF and managed fund providers often issue AMMA statements after the end of the financial year. These statements can include final tax components that are not available from the cash distribution alone.

Run The Report

To open the Taxable Income report:

Navexa Run The Report screen
  1. Choose your Portfolio you want the report for.

  2. Open Tax Reporting in the left-hand menu.

  3. Select Taxable Income.

  4. Choose the financial year from the drop-down menu at the top of the report.

  5. Wait a moment while Navexa calculates the report for that financial year.

The report updates based on the selected financial year.

Prepare ETF And Trust Income

Before reviewing the final totals, check the Trust Income section for ETF, managed fund or trust-style holdings.

These holdings may need final AMIT or AMMA statement data before the report is complete.

Navexa Prepare ETF And Trust Income screen

If a holding needs attention, Navexa may show Enter AMIT Statement or Update AMIT Statement beside that holding.

Select Enter AMIT Statement to:

  • Enter statement values manually.

  • Import the AMIT or AMMA statement from PDF.

  • Mark the holding as not requiring AMIT data.

Select Update AMIT Statement to review or change statement data that has already been saved.

You can also enter or update AMIT statement data from the holding itself by opening the holding’s Income section.

For the full AMIT workflow, see Using the ETF Distributions Pro-Rata Tax Form.

Understand AMIT Statuses

Navexa shows AMIT statuses in the Trust Income section to help you see which holdings still need attention.

AMIT Required

AMIT Required means the holding may need AMIT or AMMA statement data for the selected financial year.

Use this status as a prompt to check the holding’s final annual tax statement.

AMIT Complete

AMIT Complete means AMIT statement data has been entered and saved for that holding and financial year.

You can still select Update AMIT Statement if you need to review or change the saved values.

AMIT Not Required

AMIT Not Required means the holding has been marked as not needing AMIT data for that financial year.

This status does not permanently block the holding. You can still select Enter AMIT Statement later if you receive a statement or realise AMIT data is required.

Read The Summary

The top section of the report shows a taxable income summary.

The summary groups your income into the same broad areas used in the Australian tax return, including:

  • Australian Tax Return for Individuals

  • Australian Tax Return for Individuals Supplementary Section

  • Income from partnerships and trusts

  • Income from foreign sources and assets

Each line shows the ATO label and the amount calculated from the income data recorded in Navexa.

Click the Ticker name of the holding to go to that holding's page. You can select an individual income line in the report to review or edit it.

Navexa Edit Income Lines screen

Use this when you only need to correct one income entry, such as a single dividend or distribution.

For ETF or managed fund annual statement data, use Enter AMIT Statement or Update AMIT Statement instead. That workflow applies the annual AMIT or AMMA statement values across the relevant distributions for that holding and financial year.

Common Issues

Use these answers to resolve common questions about the Taxable Income report.

Why Are Figures Different?

The Taxable Income report depends on the income data recorded in Navexa.

Figures can differ from your broker, issuer statement or accountant’s records if:

  • A dividend or distribution is missing.

  • A dividend has not been confirmed.

  • A DRP entry is missing or incorrect.

  • ETF AMIT or AMMA statement data has not been entered.

  • Foreign income or withholding tax values differ.

  • A holding has been classified differently.

  • The wrong financial year is selected.

Why Is AMIT Required?

AMIT Required appears when a trust-style holding may need AMIT or AMMA statement data for the selected financial year.

Check your ETF or managed fund provider’s final annual tax statement. If the holding needs AMIT data, select Enter AMIT Statement. If it does not need AMIT data for that year, you can mark it as not required.

Why Is Tax Reporting Unavailable?

Tax reporting may be unavailable if the selected portfolio is not an AUD-base portfolio.

ATO reporting in Navexa is designed for Australian tax reporting and requires AUD. Create and use an AUD-base portfolio when you need Australian tax reports.

Can I Lodge From This?

You can use the Taxable Income report to help prepare the investment income section of your tax return. Navexa does not lodge your return or assess your full personal tax position.

Use the report to understand and check your Navexa income data, then verify the figures against your own records and your accountant’s advice before lodging.

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