Lodge with the ATO myTax report

When it’s time to lodge, Metrifly’s ATO myTax report labels every amount with its myTax item code and lets you copy each one with a click. By the end, you’ll have your investment figures entered in myTax on myGov — or exported for your accountant.

Go to Tax Reporting → myTax Guide. The page is titled ATO myTax Report, with an FY dropdown, Tax settings, and Export in the header.

ATO myTax report with item-coded amounts and click-to-copy

Item codes can change year to year and by return type, so always use the code shown on screen for your selected financial year.

The meta card confirms which portfolio, allocation method, and tax residency the report uses:

FieldWhat it means
PortfolioThe portfolio this report covers
Sale AllocationThe default lot method
Tax ResidencyThe jurisdiction (Australian rules for Australian portfolios)

Click any row to copy its amount — a toast confirms the code, label, and value, and the number pastes without a $ sign.

RowTypical use
Total current year capital gainsYour gross gains
Net capital gainYour assessable gain
Net capital loss carried forwardLosses to offset in future years

Expand Capital Gains Tax Breakdown for the sub-lines, or click Go to CGT report to open your capital gains report.

Your income is grouped into sections, each with an item code, label, amount, and tooltip — the same structure as the taxable income report summary. Go to Taxable Income report opens the payment tables.

Before you start, make sure:

Then, in myGov:

  1. Open myTax for the same year as Metrifly’s FY.
  2. Open Metrifly’s ATO myTax Report in another tab.
  3. For each field, read the item code, find the matching field in myTax, click the Metrifly row to copy, and paste.
  4. Expand the breakdown if myTax asks for more detail.
  5. Review the summary before you lodge.
