IB->BPS Features

BPS when linked to an IB account, provides the following advantages over using IB provided reports:

Australian Investors

• Australia Financial period reporting
  It is impossible for IB to produce a report for an Australian financial year. IB reports cannot select an Australian financial year 1st July to 30th June, due to only USA dates being available for selection. The IB financial year is locked to USA date ranges 1st Jan to 31st Dec.
• IB report dates are only available in USA EST.
  All dates within IB reports are not applicable to Australian Time Zone required for Australian reporting periods, hence even if one could select Australian date ranges, the report contents would still be wrong, as it would include trades up to 2 PM  on the 1st of July for a range end on the 30th June EST.
• End of Financial Year
  IB reports, do not consider the 30th June, is an end of financial year. Transactions processed after 4:20 PM EST, are reported in the next financial year i.e 1st July, when they need to be in the current financial year report. IB only reports on USA end of financial year, if you run a financial year report you will get 1st Jan to 31 December period.
• Australian Tax
  IB reports are setup for only USA tax reporting, Australian capital gains regulations are different to the USA, typically IB will overstate actual capital gains, plus some reporting entities must declare some types of gains as income rather than as capital gains. BSP provides the data to support various Australian tax entity reporting.
• FxTranslation amounts
  IB FxTranslation values, are often incorrect, and keep changing ( i.e. a report run on the 1st July and another ran on the 7th of July will often have different FXTranslation values for same 30th June report date) , this produces incorrect 30th June NAV positions, and hence incorrect end of year "change in valuation" amounts within financial reports.
• Bank Statements
  Australian auditors, especially when the investor is an SMSF, require bank or cash statements in compliance with Australian standards. IB does not provide a Cash/Bank statement.
• Excessive manual rework of IB reports by Australian Accountants
  A typical trader may be charged in excess of $1600 for reworking IB reports to meet Australian tax reporting requirements. Some accountants will even charge on  per per IB transaction, fees of $3000 are not uncommon. In many case the IB reports do not provide sufficient data to allow an accountant to manually rework IB reports.
• SMSF Audits
  Australian SMSF's which use IB for trading must be audited each year as part of their tax return. IB reports are not audited, and hence the transactions must be audited, by a licensed SMSF auditor against the SIS Act. The reports produced by IB do not contain sufficient information to allow an auditor to complete an SMSF audit. In most cases an accountant must re-process all IB transactions, in order to meet SMSF audit work paper requirements. This can typically double the cost of an SMSF audit, if IB is used, when compared to an ASX participant.

All of the above issues are resolved with out IB->BPS reporting and tax service.
