No annual statement, no record of profit/loss per trade - how to determine tax liability?


Mysno

Question

Hi,

I've browsed some of the community Q&A and it seems a bit inconsistent as to who gets what statements in their account.
I've been trading with IG since 2018, but:
1. In 'Annual' statements - nothing is provided
2. In 'Monthly' statements, 3 random months are provided (2 in 2020 and 1 in 2019)
3. In 'history' of transactions, it shows the sale price but doesn't seem to show the profit/loss from the trade

Is this information available somewhere? Otherwise how is one to determine profit over the course of a particular period in order to file a tax return on earnings?

No answer. Took days for my community question to be approved and I'd stopped tracking - so your question here is what told me that this was back in.

No answer received so far - @ig is there anyone from the IG team to address these queries?

I'm following this thread as well.

In fact the annual statement that is available for download show 0 Capital Gain/Loss,
while when trade history is downloaded and all calculations are made manually there is a gain.

So not only does IG not provide a statement that can be used for tax purposes,
the statement that is provided is wrong and gets you in trouble...

I trade on the ASX via the IG share trading platform (Not CFDs) and have my daily statements sent via email to Sharesight, this pulls all my trading data and all I have to do come tax time is select generate tax report.  Pretty simple.

I'm a UK resident and I have both a Share Dealing and Smart portfolio account with IG UK. The income (dividends) I receive is highlighted in the Consolidated Tax report that I generally get after the end of the tax year. With regards to CGT, I use an online calculator after pulling all the information from the history tab for both accounts. Any questions please let me know.

Dear team

New user here and I have a quick question.  I came across to your platform due to the competetive brokerage fees and I am happy enough so far.  But I must say I'm surprsied to discover that the basic layout / functionality of all other trading websites I have used is missing.

In particular, the ability to export your CURRENT positions as an excel file (CSV, etc).  I'm not interested in exporting my trading history - I wish to export my CURRENT positions so I can do some analysis of my weightings etc. This is a core routine task performed by sophistocated and amateur investors, yet it is missing from your otherwise very sophistocated platform.

Such a basic product feature but bizarrely missing?

And while I am here it is worth suggesting that you should also copy your competitors and have additional (optional) tabs in the Positions screen - such as showing your positions in your domestic currency and also your individual P&L expressed as a % for each individual holding.

Your help in relation to the Excel question most appreciated.

Hello,

 

I get the above message when trying to buy PML.

 

It also says 'the market you have requested is no longer available online'. How do I buy this one please?

I also have the same question - as I have the same issue, i.e., the 2020 - 2021 consolidated tax certificate is not available.  Any assistance would be much appreciated...

RE: END OF YEAR - TAX SUMMARY

In July 2020 (Last Financial Year here in Australia). I contacted IG by phone and they told me firstly that the report should be uploaded to their site August. I had to wait till OCTOBER to get it.

I had to stall putting in my tax return, which costed me money as I am a pensioner and I could have enjoyed a higher rate of pension if I lodged my tax return earlier. 

Even a CSV export of all transactions would be great !!!

Please IG ..... Lets get it done earlier this year.

Hi, I am also from the UK and struggling to figure out my capital gains tax liability. I am curious which software do you use and find useful. Thanks in advance Peter

Did the report eventually appear on this screen?

I couldn't get Sharesight to work for IG Share trades .. do you forward the individual trades (the individual emails per trade) to Sharesight ..or the daily email summary they send via .PDF?

It's the daily PDF, I had IG set it up so that they send a copy to my private email and the sharesight email address for imports.

I know nothing of the firm you speak of. Only the fact that IG Markets make available an Annual Statement. Sceduled for August.

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
