getting ETFs / funds tax reporting information

max888

Hi everyone,
I am new to investing.
I am planning to invest on ETFs but I am not sure how complex it would be for tax reporting.

I am self-employed via limited company so I already cap the dividends allowance. An accountant prepares my self-assessment. Also I am already using ISA and SIPP. 
I still have approx. 100K in GBP and 75K in EUR to invest.
I have just put the GBP on Vanguard Lifestrategy fund (directly via Vanguard). Vanguard makes it clear that they are going to provide a yearly report for tax purposes.
My Euro account is with Fineco Bank and I am thinking to invest on 2 ETFs (i.e. 1 bond and 1 equities). I understand I'll have to declare income from investment, even if I don't sell it (i.e. Excess Reportable Income).
Assuming the funds are offshore and have UK Reporting Status, the ETF manager is supposed to release yearly report for UK tax. I have been looking at a few ETFs, But I could not always find those figures (i.e. ERI) on investment firms websites (fact sheets or prospects) and for those who are providing the figures, I am not sure if they are reported in the same time span of UK financial year (May-April).

So my question is:
Is the broker (Fineco Bank) responsible to provide the figures related to my investment?
or would typically a tax accountant search for the reports and make all the calculation? So if the information is not publicly available would the accountant be responsible to chase the Fund? has anyone been in this situation? 

Thanks!

You just need to dig around on the fund provider's website.

For example for Vanguard ETFs, the info is in the Report to Participants - Vanguard Funds plc, from here:

you will get a tax certificate from your broker which will show any taxable income but it doesn't show capital gain/loss if you sell the ETF and make a gain or loss, so you would have to keep records and do this calculation yourself.  your tax accountant will be able to do this calculation for you if you can't do it yourself if you provide details of the purchases and sales of the ETF.

Brokers do not have to show you Excess Reportable Income. The ETF manager has to publish it somewhere, but there is no standard. One place many use to publish it is a KPMG site: KPMG Public Investor Reporting Funds . It's free to sign up.

" I am not sure if they are reported in the same time span of UK financial year (May-April)" - ETFs can have any period as their accounting year. 

It’s the number of shares that you owned on the last day of the fund’s accounting year that matters, although you’re treated as receiving the income on the fund distribution date six months after the fund’s accounting period. Report ERI on your annual tax return that covers that date.

So if the accounting year ends on Dec 31st, you take the number of shares owned on Dec 31st 2021, and report the ERI in tax year 2022-23, since that's when the next June 30th falls.
