Connect Interactive Brokers to Navexa

Interactive Brokers (IBKR) is the go-to platform for Australian investors who trade global markets — but its reporting is built for traders, not for Australian tax compliance. IBKR's activity statements are detailed but don't calculate your CGT position the way the ATO requires, and multi-currency conversions add another layer of complexity.

Navexa connects directly to your Interactive Brokers account and gives you:

• Automatic trade sync — your IBKR holdings update in Navexa without manual data entry
• Multi-currency CGT tracking — every trade converted to AUD at the correct historical rate
• Real-time CGT position — know what you owe across all your global holdings
• Manual parcel selection — choose exactly which shares to sell to minimise your CGT bill
• ATO MyTax autofill — your capital gains, foreign income, and currency gains, pre-formatted for your tax return

Navexa supports direct account linking with Interactive Brokers — connect once and your trade history syncs automatically. You can also upload a CSV export if you prefer.

At tax time, Navexa generates:

• A capital gains report broken down by parcel, asset, and currency — including forex gains
• An income report covering dividends and foreign-sourced income
• An ATO MyTax-ready summary you can copy directly into your tax return

If you trade across US, European, Asian, or other markets through IBKR, Navexa converts everything to AUD and applies ATO-compliant CGT rules automatically.

IBKR investors often hold diverse global portfolios — US tech stocks, European ETFs, ASX shares — each denominated in a different currency. At tax time, you need to report capital gains on both the asset and the currency movement for each position. This is where most spreadsheets and even accountants struggle.

Navexa handles multi-currency CGT automatically and gives you manual parcel selection to choose exactly which parcels to sell. For IBKR investors with large, complex portfolios, this can mean thousands saved in CGT by strategically selecting parcels that maximise the 50% discount.
