Age Pension 14-Day Share Checker
Age Pension 14-Day Share Checker / Rules and sources

A weekend or public holiday

Where the 14 days end on a weekend or a public holiday, the notification period ends on the next working day. With a state or territory set, this checker moves the date past weekends, national public holidays and that state's whole-day public holidays as its government lists them for the years held; with no state set it uses national holidays only and says so, because a state public holiday may move the date one more day.

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.
