You can find this toggle under Settings -> Portfolio & Tax section. Switching this toggle might change the results of your Capital Gains Report. The default setting depends on your tax jurisdiction. The choice of settings may impact your tax liability, so it's essential to consult with your accountant or local tax professionals about your situation before making any changes.

When the toggle is switched on, all your bridge transactions are treated as non-taxable disposal, which means your overall account balance remains unchanged, as the bridging process is considered a transfer rather than a disposal or acquisition. The cost base is carried from the previous acquisition price. See the example below:
