Official documentation for Form 720.

The service provides a mechanism for generating a ready-made Form 720 based on broker reports. The format of the source reports for uploading is exactly the same as for generating Form 100. However, there are several aspects that need to be taken into account.

Providing info on assets that are not securities

In order for data on property that is not securities to be included in the resulting Form file, it is necessary to add Form 720 for the previous or current year, which will contain this data, to the list of reports uploaded for processing. For example, you can fill them in manually, save them to a file, and add the resulting file together with the broker’s report. In this case, data on non-securities assets from Form 720 will be combined with data on securities taken from broker reports.

Declaration of securities that do not appear in processed brokerage reports

If you need securities that do not appear in the downloaded brokerage reports to be included in the generated Form 720, you must record them in a universal format, specifying their quantity and value.

Detailed form showing changes compared to the previous year

If the “Detailed form” is selected, two values will be displayed for each security: the number of securities from the previous year (taken from the previous Form 720) with the value in the “Origin of good or right” field “M”  and the number of securities purchased “A” or sold “C”. Please note that if you want to correctly submit Form 720 with the “Detailed form” option enabled, you must upload the previous Form 720 along with the broker’s report(s) for the current reporting year (more details).

If the “Detailed Form” option is not active, the current number of securities will be displayed, along with the value in the “Origin of good or right” field “M”.
