A cash dividend
A cash dividend leaves the number of shares unchanged, so it is not a change in the number of shares. The cash lands in a bank account, and bank accounts and cash are financial investments on Services Australia's financial investments page, so other income or asset reporting may apply; this checker does not read it.
The rule. Report a change in shares within 14 days. Named in the sources: a buy, a sale, bonus shares. Any other change to the total number of shares the form asks for: report or confirm. A price movement is not on the list; listed shares are revalued on 20 March and 20 September. Every rule and its source.
What it takes. Trade lines only: date, code, buy or sell, quantity. Recognised account and holder numbers are removed; nothing leaves your browser until you save.

Services Australia: Financial investments
What we rely on: We consider account based investments, market linked investments, and some income streams to be financial investments. Account based investments include bank, building society and credit union accounts, cash, term deposits. Market linked investments include ... shares and securities. We revalue your market linked investments, shares and securities on 20 March and 20 September each year. We either get the new values from the latest unit prices we have or ask you for the latest values. You can also ask us to revalue your investments at any time.
