How to Enter or Import an AMIT/AMMA Statement in Navexa

Enter, import or update an AMIT or AMMA statement in Navexa and apply the annual tax components to the holding’s distributions.

How to Enter or Import an AMIT/AMMA Statement in Navexa

Use Navexa’s AMIT statement workflow to enter the final annual tax information for an ETF, managed fund or trust.


Before You Begin

Before entering a statement, make sure:

  • You have the provider’s final annual tax statement (see About AMIT and AMMA Statements in Navexa).

  • You have selected the financial year shown on the statement.

  • The correct holding is recorded in Navexa.

  • The holding’s distributions for that financial year are present.

  • You haven’t already entered the same statement values another way.

Use one entry method for each holding and financial year. Enter the statement manually or import the PDF, but don’t repeat the same values on the individual distributions.

Don’t change the holding’s original buy prices to enter AMIT cost-base adjustments.


Where You Can Start

You can start the AMIT statement workflow from either of these areas:

  • Taxable Income Report

  • A holding’s Income page

Both options open the same AMIT statement workflow for the selected holding and financial year.

Open The AMIT Workflow

From The Taxable Income Report

  1. Choose the portfolio you want to update.

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

  3. Choose the financial year shown on the statement.

  4. Scroll to Trust Income.

  5. Find the relevant holding.

  6. Select Enter AMIT Statement.

Select Update AMIT Statement instead if statement data has already been saved for that holding and financial year.

From The Holding’s Income Page

  1. Open Portfolio.

  2. Select the relevant holding (e.g. VGS).

  3. Open Income.

  4. Select Enter AMIT Statement or Update AMIT Statement.

Both paths take you to the same statement entry options.

Choose An Entry Method

After selecting Enter AMIT Statement, Navexa gives you three options:

  • Enter manually

  • Import from PDF

  • Mark as not requiring AMIT data

Choose the option that matches the statement information available to you.

Enter The Statement Manually

Use Enter manually to copy the annual values from the provider’s statement into Navexa.

  1. Select Enter manually.

  2. Find each corresponding item from the provider statement.

  3. Enter the annual value under Net Amount.

  4. Review the updated totals.

  5. Select Save Updated Distributions.

Only enter or derive amounts supported by the final annual tax statement. Use the meaning of each Navexa field rather than relying on an exact label match between the provider’s statement and Navexa.

Match each amount using its meaning and tax return label. Don’t place an amount into a different field simply because the wording looks similar.

Some fields are calculated automatically and can’t be edited directly. Enter the underlying components, then review the calculated value before saving.

Import The Statement From PDF

Use Import from PDF to have Navexa extract values from the provider’s statement.

  1. Select Import from PDF.

  2. Drag the PDF into the upload area, or select Browse Files.

  3. Select Upload File.

  4. Wait while Navexa extracts the statement values.

  5. Compare every extracted value with the original PDF.

  6. Correct any values or mappings that don’t match.

  7. Select Save Updated Distributions.

PDF import speeds up data entry, but it doesn’t replace reviewing the statement.

Statement formats vary between providers. Check every imported amount and tax label before saving.

Don’t place an unsupported tax label into another field to make the totals balance.

Mark AMIT As Not Required

Select Mark as not requiring AMIT data when the holding doesn’t require AMIT statement information for that financial year.

Navexa will display AMIT Not Required beside the holding.

This doesn’t permanently prevent you from entering a statement. You can select Enter AMIT Statement later if you receive one or determine that it is required.


Review The Form

The AMIT statement form shows how the annual values will update the holding’s distributions.

The AMIT statement form shows how the annual values will update the holding’s distributions.

The form includes:

  • Item: The income or tax component.

  • Tax Return Label: The related Australian Taxation Office label, where applicable.

  • Net Amount: The annual value entered manually or imported.

  • Distribution columns: The distributions recorded during the financial year.

  • Totals: The amounts currently recorded across those distributions.

  • New Net Amounts: The resulting annual amounts after your changes.

Before saving, check that:

  • The correct holding is selected.

  • The correct financial year is selected.

  • Each Net Amount matches the provider statement.

  • Imported amounts use the correct items and tax labels.

  • Calculated totals match the statement where applicable.

  • The same values haven’t been entered elsewhere.

Why Can’t I Edit 18A or 18H?

Some fields in the AMIT statement form are calculated automatically by Navexa and cannot be entered or edited directly.

For capital gains:

  • Capital Gains – Discounted Method is the discounted capital gain. It contributes to 18A — Net Capital Gain.

  • 18A — Net Capital Gain is calculated as Capital Gains – Discounted Method + Capital Gains – Other Method.

  • CGT Concession (AMIT CGT gross up) is the additional amount needed to gross a discounted capital gain back up for tax reporting.

  • 18H — Total Current Year Capital Gain is calculated as 18A + CGT Concession (AMIT CGT gross up).

CGT Concession Amount vs AMIT CGT Gross Up

A provider may separately report a CGT concession amount as a distribution component. Do not automatically enter that amount into Navexa’s CGT Concession (AMIT CGT gross up) field.

The AMIT CGT gross up is used to calculate 18H from a discounted capital gain. It is not another cash amount paid to you. A separately reported CGT concession amount can be a different distribution component.

For example, if the final Annual Tax Statement shows:

  • Net or discounted capital gain: $1.40

  • Discount method grossed-up amount: $2.80

  • 18A: $1.40

  • 18H: $2.80

Enter $1.40 for Capital Gains – Discounted Method and $1.40 for CGT Concession (AMIT CGT gross up). Navexa then calculates 18A as $1.40 and 18H as $2.80.

Some final statements show the grossed-up amount but not a separate AMIT CGT gross-up increment. Where the final statement clearly supports the calculation, derive the gross up from the difference between 18H and 18A. Do not use a similarly named provider label without confirming what the amount represents.

This is why 18A and 18H appear as read-only fields. Instead of entering those totals directly, enter the underlying capital gains components supported by your final AMIT or AMMA statement.

Before saving, compare the calculated 18A and 18H amounts shown in Navexa with the corresponding amounts on your provider’s statement. If they match, you can confirm the underlying capital gains components have been entered correctly.

Save The Statement

Once you have reviewed the figures, select Save Updated Distributions.

Navexa then applies the annual AMIT values across the distributions recorded for that holding during the financial year.

For example, if the holding received two distributions during the year, the annual capital gains and other AMIT components will be split across those two distribution records. You can open the individual distributions afterwards to see the amounts Navexa has applied to each one.

This means the AMIT data does not only remain on the annual AMIT statement screen. The relevant components are added to the underlying distribution records and are then used in Navexa’s tax reporting.

After saving, you can check your entry in three places:

  1. Reopen Update AMIT Statement and confirm the calculated totals, including 18A and 18H, still match your provider statement.

  2. Open the holding’s individual distributions to see how the annual AMIT components have been allocated across them.

  3. Review Tax Reporting → Taxable Income to confirm the updated distribution information is being reflected in your tax reporting.

If you make changes to the AMIT statement later, saving it again will update the affected distribution records using the revised values.


Common Issues

Why Can’t I See Where to Enter an AMIT Statement?

If Enter AMIT Statement isn’t available, check that:

  • You are viewing the correct financial year.

  • The holding appears under Trust Income.

  • The relevant distributions have been recorded.

  • The distributions are assigned to the correct financial year.

  • A custom holding has Trust Income enabled.

  • The relevant custom-holding distributions also have Trust Income enabled.

  • The holding isn’t excluded from tax reporting.

For custom investments, see Trust Income Missing for Custom Funds.

Why Have My AMIT Statement Values Doubled?

AMIT statement values may appear twice if the same annual components were entered through the AMIT workflow and also added manually elsewhere.

Check whether the values were entered both through Enter AMIT Statement and on the individual distributions. Keep one entry method for each holding and financial year, then review the Taxable Income report again.

Why Don’t The Imported Values Match My AMIT Statement?

Imported values may not match because providers use different statement formats and tax-label wording.

Compare every imported amount and tax label with the original statement before saving. Correct any value that doesn’t match.

What if my statement shows a negative AMIT amount?

Navexa records the direction of an AMIT adjustment using separate Increase and Decrease fields, so enter the amount as a positive value in the appropriate field.

Some providers use negative signs for presentation or reconciliation purposes. For example, Betashares Direct may show a negative amount beside Cost base increase amount. Betashares Direct has confirmed that this still represents an increase to the investment's cost base.

So if a Betashares Direct statement shows Cost base increase amount: -$459.33, enter $459.33 under AMIT Increase (Shortfall) in Navexa.

Don't automatically reverse negative amounts from other providers. If the adjustment type isn't clear from the statement, confirm it with the statement provider or your tax adviser.


Contact Support if:

  • The statement contains a tax label with no matching Navexa field.

  • Navexa assigns an amount to the wrong field.

  • The values change unexpectedly after saving.

  • The imported totals still don’t match after correction.

Include the holding, financial year, relevant statement page and a screenshot of the Navexa form.

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