The total number of shares
The online shares form asks for the ASX code or security code, the total number of shares, your share of ownership and your partner's, and a date; removing a holding asks for the date it was removed. Any line that adds or removes shares changes the total you last gave.
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: Online account help: update your shares
What we rely on, in our words: Paraphrased: Services Australia asks you to tell it when your circumstances change, including changes to Australian listed shares held by you and your partner. The online form asks whether the shares are listed on an Australian exchange, the ASX code or security code, the total number of shares, your share of ownership and your partner's share, and the purchase, start or acquisition date; removing a holding asks for the date the shares were removed.
