I pay brokerage of $19.95 per trade. On the contract notes it details this as $18.14 of fee and $1.81 of GST.

How should I be entering this is Sharesight? How is Sharesight designed so my reports will generate correctly?

In the enter _new trade brokerage field_, **should I enter it ex-GST or incl-GST?**

Hi @Red_Dog_Austin you can lump the GST together with the brokerage fees in Sharesight.
