The trading stock report is an Australian-specific report that details a breakdown of your trading stock if you are trading as a business.

At the top of the Trading Stock Report, you will find the report summary. This is a high-level summary of the account's opening value, sales, purchases, and closing value during the selected tax year. The Report Summary will be broken down into the following areas, as explained below:

Sales: The total value of all disposals (sells etc) over the selected report dates.

Opening Stock: The total value of all assets held at the start of the selected report date.

Purchases: The total value of all purchases made over the selected report dates.

Closing Stock: The total value of all assets held at the end of the selected report date.

Cost Of Sales: 'Cost of Sales' = 'Opening Stock' + 'Purchases' - 'Closing Stock'.

Net Profit: 'Net Profit' = 'Sales' - 'Cost of Sales’

Sales

The total value of all disposals (sells etc) over the selected report dates.

Opening Stock

The total value of all assets held at the start of the selected report date.

Purchases

The total value of all purchases made over the selected report dates.

Closing Stock

'Cost of Sales' = 'Opening Stock' + 'Purchases' - 'Closing Stock'

Net Profit

Net Profit' = 'Sales' - 'Cost of Sales’

Below the summary page, you will get down to the raw data that makes up this report. This part of the report is called the Trading Report Summary and it will include all the data that makes up the report summary at the top. Each of these rows will show an asset that was held during your specified reporting period. The data for these transactions will then be broken down into eight columns:

Currency: The asset that was held during the specified reporting period.

Starting Price: The market price of the asset at the start of the reporting period.

Starting Value: The total market value of the assets at the start of the reporting period. Qty of asset held at the start of the reporting period x Starting Price = Starting Value

Acquired Total Value: The total value of the asset acquired during the specified reporting period.

Disposed Total Value: The total value of the asset that was disposed of during the reporting period.

Closing Price: The market price of the asset at the end of the specified reporting period.

Closing Value: The total market value of the assets at the end of the reporting period . Qty of asset held at the end of the reporting period x Closing Price = Closing Value

Net profit: (Closing Value - Starting Value) + (Disposed Total Value - Acquired Total Value) = Net Profit

Trading Report Balances

Scrolling further down the report, just past the halfway point, you will reach the Trading Report Balances as seen in the above image. The Inventory Balances will be broken down into three columns, as explained below:

Currency: The asset that was held during the specified reporting period.

Opening Stock: The quantity of the asset that was held at the start of the reporting period.

Acquired Stock Quantity: The quantity of the asset that was acquired during the reporting period.

Disposed Stock Quantity: The quantity of the asset that was disposed of during the reporting period.

Closing Stock: The quantity of the asset that was held at the end of the reporting period.

Note: The “Show native fiat holdings on reports and dashboard” toggle on the settings page could have a large effect on this report, so make sure you have it set to the correct setting for your account.
