Which trading platform has the best tax reporting for the ato?
Hi Jack,
Thank you for reaching out to finder.
Though we do not have information on the best tax reporting for these companies to the ATO, you may want to contact the ATO directly to check on the statistics for this. They should have available historical data on these companies available for you. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
I’d like to buy shares online myself, I’ll be a casual investing in semi longterm shares, looking for a $20 to $50 share minimum purchase. I’m hoping that’s possible, I’m mid 50’s an hoping to add a little extra for retirement, any advice would be muchly appreciated, cheers
Hi Karen,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Going into share trading is one of the good ways to grow your money. With share trading, please note that the minimum order when buying shares on the ASX is $500 and your online trading platform may require a higher limit. We have some guides on the following pages which could help you in your journey to share trading:
1. Beginner guide to share trading
2. Opening a share trading account
3. Compare online share trading accounts
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
May
I’m looking for a discount broker for trading Australian shares that provides data reports, particularly for end of f/y
Cheers, Allan
Hi Allan,
Thanks for your question.
You may want to check our page that discusses cheap stock brokerage in Australia. By checking that comparison table on that page, you should learn which share trading platform has the lowest brokerage fee. Most of them provide daily and yearly data reports.
Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.

I have shares in the UK, but with an Australian address it is hard (impossible) to find a UK agent to help with their sale. What is the best Australian option for a single trade (sell)?
My suggestion is that you do an off market transfer with a third party who is willing to buy the shares from you and arrange private cash settlement.
Hi Rich,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately, we cannot recommend what is best for you. Our company finder.com.au is a financial comparison website and general information service designed to help consumers to make a better decisions. Please note we do not represent any company we feature on our pages.
Thankfully, you can always check the list of online share trading platforms on our website. This should give you a good place to start searching for the right platform.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

I noticed that amscot Stockbroking is not on the comparison list.

Although we cover a wide range of products, providers and services, we don’t cover every product, provider or service available in the market so there may be other options available to you. However, you can find more information about the amscot Stockbroking through our website.
