Hi Julie_A_C - Ah, so that's what it means! In case it's pertinent - I do not provide my accountant with any info electronically - all he works from are the P&L and Balance Sheet which I print out for him. So since the ATO will already know all about my dividends, I can only assume that providing this info to the accountant serves as some sort of check/audit.
I'm still confused as to the need for a Customer Card for Dividends. Either way (with or without the Customer Card) whenever I record a dividend payment, I would note in the "Memo" field which company paid that dividend.
Since the accountant isn't asking for any more info than the totals for Franked/Unfranked/Other, I can't see what extra information could be gleaned through having a Customer Card, compared to just recording the dividend without one?
