It is with much regret that we announce that ACB Tracking will not be updating our data base with the distributions paid by ETFs, REITs, Income Trusts, and Split Shares in 2025.  For the last 19 years we have been able to efficiently provide accountants, investment firms and individual investors with the ability to quickly and accurately calculate adjusted cost bases for these investments.  In addition, and most significantly, over this period of time we are proud to have saved investors thousands of dollars by reducing their income taxes when Phantom Distributions (reinvested distributions) were a factor. We included all Phantom Distributions in our calculator, which increase the adjusted cost base thus reducing the reported capital gain on the investment when sold.  

Our ability to maintain our unique database depends on having an efficient method of acquiring the breakdown of distributions.  Unfortunately, we recently learned that our acquisition of this critical data can no longer be done efficiently, making the updating process, which was already extremely time-consuming, untenable.  

Our plan is to continue to have the ACB Tracking web site available to anyone who still has calculations on their account.  If an investment position has been held for a number of years, the calculation can still be done to provide an adjusted cost base that will be accurate to the end of 2024.  (Enter a sale of zero units with settlement on December 31, 2024 to obtain an ACB of the position as at that date.)  To include the distributions for 2025, it will be necessary to contact the unit issuer.  In some cases the information may be on their website.  

ACB Tracking will no longer make calculations available for purchase.  We are most grateful for our many clients who have expressed confidence in our service for so many years.
