No London listing is held for this ISIN, so the fund is shown by its ISIN. That is the normal case here: the listing table covers 1,084 of the 2,755 share classes in this data. Check the ISIN against your contract note.
ERI is income you never received, and it lifts your cost base
A reporting fund can keep income instead of paying it out. You are taxed on the retained amount anyway: it is treated as arising to you on the fund distribution date, six months after the reporting period end (SI 2009/3001 reg 94(4)), and it goes on that year's return with no cash to show for it.
The same amount then increases the cost of your holding for Capital Gains Tax. That is what stops the money being taxed twice. Report the income and forget the uplift and you pay CGT on income you have already paid income tax on. Neither half appears on a broker's consolidated tax certificate, which is why it gets missed.

Sterling figures are shown to six decimal places; the calculator uses the unrounded value. The rate applied is HMRC's monthly rate for the month the income arises, which is the month the TaxBull calculator uses for the same figure. It is always an HMRC monthly rate, never a broker's rate and never a market feed (CG78310).
† That period end is not a calendar month end. 54 of the 11,896 records here are like this, and almost all of them look genuine: 53 are the last figure we hold for that fund, which is what a short final period before a merger or a closure looks like. The period end sets the holder test, the distribution date and so the tax year, so check it against the manager's report before you rely on it. Nothing has been corrected or dropped.
What 1,000 units would mean
Every period this fund has reported so far is a published nil, so there is no worked example to give. A nil is a real answer: the fund reported no excess for that period, and there is nothing to put on a return and nothing to add to your Section 104 cost.
What catches people out
Selling before the period end does not always get you out of it
Regulation 94(3A) of SI 2009/3001: if you sold units on or before the reporting period end and bought them back within 30 days, you are deemed to have held them at the period end anyway, so the income is charged. The uplift on those units goes onto the repurchase, not into the Section 104 pool, because the repurchase is what the earlier disposal is matched against under the 30-day rule. Sell and stay out for 31 days and the period is genuinely not yours.
Dividend or interest is not in this data, and it changes the rate you pay
A fund that fails the qualifying investments test (broadly, more than 60% in interest-bearing assets) pays its excess as interest rather than as a dividend (ITTOIA 2005 s378A). Interest is taxed at your income tax rate with the personal savings allowance, not at dividend rates with the dividend allowance. Nothing in this dataset says which a fund is. The manager's own report does, and a bond fund's excess taxed as a dividend is the wrong tax at the wrong rate. In the calculator you can classify a holding as an interest fund and the figures follow; unclassified, it is treated as a dividend and the report says that it assumed so.
The cost uplift also belongs to units you have already sold
The uplift attaches to the units you held at the period end. If you have since sold the whole holding, the uplift does not disappear. It belonged to the cost of what you sold, and leaving it out overstates the gain. The calculator applies it as a dated adjustment on the distribution date, so a disposal made before the period end never picks up a slice of it.
Where this figure came from
Manager: Xtrackers (DWS). Periods held here: 31 December 2018 to 10 March 2020. Currency as reported: USD.
These are the manager's own published UK reporting-fund figures, taken from the documents it publishes. A period that is missing from this page is missing, not nil: if the manager published one we do not hold, the figure is still yours to report.

Put this on a return
Upload your broker CSV and the calculator applies excess reportable income for every fund it can identify: the income row in the right tax year, and the Section 104 uplift, alongside same-day, 30-day and pooling. A period it does not hold is named rather than treated as nil. The guide explains the matching rules.
