Getting Tax Ready

To ensure your tax reports are accurate, you need to ensure all of your investment data is correct.

The most common step you'll need to take is to 'confirm' dividends. This is essentially reconciling the dividend that Navexa has auto calculated with the dividend you received in your broker account.

You can see below a portfolio that is not tax ready yet, due to unconfirmed dividends.

  1. A warning banner will appear like this one, showing you which things need fixing. In this case there are 22 dividends that need confirming.

  2. In the 'Tax Readiness' section you can see everything else is looking good, apart from the dividends.

You can still run all the tax reports without fixing these issues. But, this means there's a higher risk of inaccuracy in the calculations and results.
