+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Establish shared tax-domain contracts and source normalization
+
+## Goal
+Create the shared backend tax-domain contracts and deterministic source-normalization pipeline used by FIFO, average cost, tax lots, yearly summaries, and exports.
+
+## Scope
+- Define shared contracts such as `TaxCalculationMethod`, normalized `TaxActivity`, warning/error types, `TaxRealizedGainRecord`, and calculation-result envelopes.
+- Reuse Ghostfolio activity retrieval instead of building a second transaction subsystem.
+- Load persisted activities only; synthetic cash is excluded.
+- Reuse Draft and Exclude from Analysis behavior.
+- Preserve deterministic ordering: full activity date ascending, then activity id ascending.
+- Reuse existing stock-split normalization.
+- Preserve source ids, account id, symbolProfileId, transaction currency, asset currency, and base-currency values.
+- Represent missing historical FX as unavailable + diagnostic, never zero or an assumed 1:1 rate.
+- Initial calculation scope: `userId + accountId + symbolProfileId`; null account uses a separate `NO_ACCOUNT` scope.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+Prefer a dedicated tax backend service/module that adapts existing Ghostfolio patterns. Do not modify the current ROAI/performance calculator for tax basis logic. Use `Big` internally.
+
+Likely touch:
+- `apps/api/src/app/activities/activities.service.ts`
+- `libs/common/src/lib/interfaces/`
+- new tax-domain service/interface files
+- existing stock-split and FX services
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- One normalized input shape is usable by both FIFO and average cost.
+- Source ids and exact dates remain traceable.
+- Same-date ordering is deterministic.
+- Split-adjusted quantities/prices preserve transaction value.
+- Missing FX produces explicit diagnostics.
+- Synthetic cash never enters tax calculations.
+- No frontend changes.
+
+## Tests
+Cover same-date ordering, split adjustment, null-account scope, missing FX, invalid/missing numeric inputs, and synthetic-cash exclusion.
+
+## Dependencies
+Existing Ghostfolio activity, FX, and split services.
+
+## Out of Scope
+FIFO matching, average-cost pooling, jurisdiction-specific tax rules, frontend work.

+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Add withholding-tax storage and activity API support
+
+## Goal
+Persist dividend withholding tax on source activities and expose it through the existing activity create/update/import/export paths.
+
+## Scope
+- Add nullable `withholdingTax` to `Order`.
+- Preserve the semantic difference between `null` (unknown) and `0` (known no withholding).
+- Accept the field in create/update DTOs.
+- Preserve omitted values on update.
+- Thread the field through import validation, dry-run preview, and actual import.
+- Preserve the field in the existing Ghostfolio backup export/import round trip.
+- Keep gross dividend, withholding amount/rate, net dividend, and activity fee separate.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+`Order` remains the authoritative source. Do not create a separate dividend table. Dividend gross value remains based on source activity quantity × unit price. Derive rate/net values rather than persisting redundant totals.
+
+Likely touch:
+- `prisma/schema.prisma`
+- `libs/common/src/lib/dtos/create-order.dto.ts`
+- `libs/common/src/lib/dtos/update-order.dto.ts`
+- `apps/api/src/app/activities/`
+- `apps/api/src/app/import/import.service.ts`
+- existing export response/service
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Existing activities remain valid.
+- `null` and `0` round-trip distinctly.
+- Create, update, import dry-run, real import, read, and backup export all preserve the field.
+- Activity fees remain separate from withholding.
+- No jurisdiction-specific rate logic is added.
+
+## Tests
+Positive withholding, zero withholding, null withholding, create/update omission, old import files, explicit import value, dry-run consistency, backup export/import round trip.
+
+## Dependencies
+Shared activity model and import/export paths.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Frontend controls, jurisdiction rules, automatic withholding-rate lookup.

+# Issue 3
+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Add tax-relevant activity flag and filtering
+
+## Goal
+Allow users to explicitly exclude a source activity from tax analytics without deleting it or changing normal portfolio behavior.
+
+## Scope
+- Add `Order.isTaxRelevant Boolean @default(true)`.
+- Add optional boolean support to create/update DTOs.
+- Preserve omitted update values.
+- Thread the flag through import dry-run and real import.
+- Preserve the flag in generic backup export/import.
+- Reuse existing Draft, activity Exclude from Analysis, and excluded-account behavior.
+- Exclude synthetic cash from tax source data.
+- Add mixed historical investment diagnostics when an excluded BUY/SELL may affect a later tax-relevant SELL.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+Tax eligibility is:
+`normal Ghostfolio eligibility AND isTaxRelevant AND operation-specific type`.
+
+Do not reuse the broad `Exclude from Analysis` tag as the tax-only flag. Do not cascade flag changes to related trades.
+
+Proposed diagnostic:
+`TAX_SCOPE_HAS_EXCLUDED_INVESTMENT_HISTORY`.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Existing rows/default imports resolve `true`.
+- `false` excludes only tax analytics.
+- Draft/excluded activity/excluded account still wins over `true`.
+- BUY/SELL continuity problems are surfaced, not silently repaired.
+- DIVIDEND filtering remains independent from unrelated BUY/SELL exclusions.
+- Existing portfolio analytics do not change merely because the field exists.
+
+## Tests
+Create/update/default behavior, old imports, explicit false import, excluded-account/tag interactions, BUY/SELL mixed-history diagnostics, DIVIDEND inclusion/exclusion, synthetic cash exclusion.
+
+## Dependencies
+Shared tax source normalization.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Frontend toggle, jurisdiction-specific taxable-event classification.

+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Implement deterministic FIFO capital-gains engine
+
+## Goal
+Implement the FIFO realized-capital-gains calculation exactly as specified in Iteration 1.
+
+## Scope
+- Consume normalized eligible BUY/SELL activities in deterministic date/id order.
+- Create acquisition lots chronologically.
+- Support partial lot consumption and one sale consuming multiple lots.
+- Preserve BUY/SELL source ids in trace output.
+- Calculate gross proceeds, gross cost basis, gross realized gain, activity-fee allocation, and fee-adjusted realized gain.
+- Produce asset-currency and base-currency values where available.
+- Reuse stock-split-normalized source activities.
+- Return open lots separately from realized results.
+- Report insufficient holdings rather than inventing short-sale basis.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+Use `Big` internally and do not round intermediate values for display. Keep FIFO separate from the existing ROAI/performance calculation.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- FIFO consumes oldest eligible acquisition quantity first.
+- Partial lot balances remain correct.
+- Multi-lot sales remain traceable.
+- One source SELL produces one sale-level realized-gain record.
+- Missing FX is not coerced to zero.
+- Invalid/insufficient history returns deterministic diagnostics.
+
+## Tests
+Single buy/sell, multiple buys, partial lot sale, sale across lots, same-date ordering, zero values, fractional quantities, fees, losses, stock splits, missing FX, insufficient lots.
+
+## Dependencies
+Shared tax-domain contracts/source normalization; withholding/tax-relevant source fields as applicable.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Average cost, short sales, wash-sale rules, jurisdiction-specific holding-period rules.

+# Issue 5
+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Implement average-cost capital-gains engine
+
+## Goal
+Implement the average-cost realized-capital-gains strategy specified in Iteration 1.
+
+## Scope
+- Maintain pooled quantity, gross cost, and acquisition-fee state.
+- BUY increases quantity/cost/fee pools.
+- SELL allocates pooled basis proportionally using disposal quantity / pool quantity.
+- Partial sales reduce pool proportionally without changing average unit cost.
+- Full close resets pool state exactly to zero.
+- Produce the same common sale-level `TaxRealizedGainRecord` shape as FIFO.
+- Preserve method-specific average-cost event/state trace data.
+
+## Core Formula
+For SELL quantity `q` from pool quantity `Q`:
+`disposalRatio = q / Q`
+
+Allocate gross basis and acquisition fees using that ratio before reducing the pool.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Pool state is deterministic and traceable.
+- Partial disposal leaves average unit cost unchanged.
+- Full disposal closes the pool cleanly.
+- Gross vs fee-adjusted results remain separate.
+- Missing FX and insufficient quantity are explicit diagnostics.
+- No FIFO lot matching is fabricated.
+
+## Tests
+One buy/sell, multiple buys, partial disposal, repeated disposals, full close/reset, zero-cost buy, fractions, fees, losses, same-date ordering, missing FX, insufficient pool quantity.
+
+## Dependencies
+Shared tax-domain contracts/source normalization.
+
+## Out of Scope
+FIFO, jurisdiction-specific pooling periods/categories, short sales.

+# Issue 6
+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Implement derived tax-lot and calculation trace tracking
+
+## Goal
+Provide deterministic, traceable tax-lot and method-specific calculation state without persisting stale derived financial results as authoritative data.
+
+## Scope
+- Derive FIFO tax lots from source BUY activities.
+- Track initial quantity, remaining quantity, acquired date, currency, source activity id, and derived status.
+- Produce deterministic FIFO match identifiers and BUY/SELL trace links.
+- Produce average-cost pool/event trace state.
+- Keep common realized-gain records method-independent.
+- Recalculate derived state after relevant source activity edits/deletes/flag changes.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+`Order` remains authoritative. Do not persist tax lots, matches, average-cost events, or yearly summaries as authoritative Prisma rows in the initial implementation.
+
+Safe initial invalidation may replay a full affected user or scope.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Open/partially consumed/closed FIFO lot state is correct.
+- FIFO match traces identify consumed BUY and SELL source ids.
+- Average cost exposes pool/event trace without fake lots.
+- Derived state updates after source changes.
+- No stale persisted tax state becomes the source of truth.
+
+## Tests
+Open lots, partial consumption, full close, multiple lots, source update/delete, tax-relevance change, null account scope, deterministic trace ids.
+
+## Dependencies
+FIFO and average-cost engines; shared source normalization.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Persistent authoritative lot tables, jurisdiction-specific lot-selection overrides.

+# Issue 7
+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Implement yearly tax summary service and API
+
+## Goal
+Build a yearly tax-summary service that aggregates dividend/withholding and realized-gain results for a requested year and selected cost-basis method.
+
+## Scope
+- Accept year + method.
+- Resolve user base currency from settings.
+- Load eligible investment history from the beginning through the selected year end.
+- Run FIFO or average cost over the required historical source set.
+- Filter realized SELL records to the requested year.
+- Build selected-year `DividendRecord` values.
+- Aggregate dividend totals, withholding, proceeds, cost basis, gains, fees, and counts.
+- Preserve nullable/incomplete aggregates and diagnostics.
+- Expose a shared API response for frontend/dashboard use.
+
+## Critical Rule
+Do **not** filter acquisition history to the requested year before calculating basis. A 2026 SELL may depend on BUY activity from earlier years.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Empty year returns known zero totals and `isComplete = true`.
+- Exactly one calculation method applies per summary.
+- Portfolio-level totals aggregate across independent account/asset scopes.
+- Null means unavailable; zero means known zero.
+- Detail records reconcile with summary totals.
+- Missing FX/unknown withholding/calculation errors propagate correctly.
+
+## Tests
+Cross-year acquisitions, FIFO vs average-cost differences, empty year, multiple accounts/assets, gains/losses, zero/null withholding, fees, missing FX, insufficient history, year boundaries, reconciliation.
+
+## Dependencies
+FIFO engine, average-cost engine, dividend/withholding source data, tax-relevant filtering, common contracts.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Dashboard UI, tax filing rules.

+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Implement CSV and PDF tax exports
+
+## Goal
+Generate CSV and PDF tax reports from the same yearly tax calculation results without duplicating financial logic.
+
+## Scope
+- Accept year, method, and format.
+- Use `YearlyTaxSummary` + method-specific trace data as the source.
+- CSV record types: SUMMARY, DIVIDEND, REALIZED_GAIN, FIFO_MATCH, AVERAGE_COST_EVENT, WARNING, ERROR.
+- Use fixed deterministic CSV column/row ordering.
+- Preserve null vs zero and incomplete status.
+- Include FIFO/average-cost trace detail without double counting sale totals.
+- Generate human-readable PDF sections for summary, dividends, gains, trace detail, diagnostics, and report note.
+- Return deterministic filename/content type/content.
+- Keep tax report behavior separate from the current general Ghostfolio backup `GET /export`.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+Evaluate the already-installed `papaparse` dependency for CSV. Select the smallest compatible PDF approach after checking NestJS/build/pagination/testability.
+
+Recommended names:
+`ghostfolio-tax-<year>-<method>.csv|pdf`
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- CSV/PDF totals exactly match the source yearly summary.
+- Unknown numeric values are not written as zero.
+- Missing FX and incomplete-history diagnostics are visible.
+- FIFO trace rows never increase annual disposal totals.
+- Exports remain authorized to the authenticated user.
+- Generic backup export/import preserves `isTaxRelevant`.
+
+## Tests
+Empty year, dividend null/zero withholding, gain/loss, FIFO multi-lot, average-cost trace, missing FX, incomplete results, CSV escaping/injection safety, deterministic order, PDF content assertions, cross-format reconciliation.
+
+## Dependencies
+Yearly summary service, FIFO/average-cost trace data.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Official government forms, XLSX, electronic filing, email/cloud delivery.

+
+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 2] Add comprehensive tax backend calculation and integration tests
+
+## Goal
+Provide numeric regression coverage for the tax backend so FIFO, average cost, withholding, filtering, yearly summaries, and exports remain deterministic and traceable.
+
+## Scope
+Create focused unit/integration coverage across all tax-domain services, including:
+- normal cases and zero values
+- multiple purchases/sales
+- partial lot sales
+- same-date ordering
+- missing/invalid inputs
+- fractional quantities
+- fee allocation
+- stock splits
+- multiple accounts/assets
+- null-account scope
+- historical FX gaps
+- tax-relevant exclusions
+- cross-year basis
+- summary reconciliation
+- export reconciliation
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Tests assert expected numeric values, not only successful execution.
+- FIFO and average-cost test fixtures share normalized source inputs where practical.
+- Existing Ghostfolio portfolio/performance behavior has regression protection.
+- No expected value is changed solely to make a failing test pass.
+- Incomplete/error cases assert specific diagnostics.
+
+## Dependencies
+Implement alongside the relevant backend issues; complete before Iteration 2 closes.
+
+## Out of Scope
+Frontend visual tests and jurisdiction-specific tax cases.
+
+## Design Sources
+All Iteration 1 tax specifications under `project-docs/iteration-1/tax/`.

+**Title:** [Tax][Iteration 3] Build React activity controls for withholding and tax relevance
+
+## Goal
+Add React UI controls for the tax source fields introduced in Iteration 2.
+
+## Scope
+- Display/edit dividend withholding amount where applicable.
+- Display/edit the `Tax relevant` activity flag.
+- Preserve null vs zero withholding behavior.
+- Explain that disabling tax relevance affects tax analytics without deleting the portfolio activity.
+- Surface a warning for BUY/SELL when historical exclusion may make later tax calculations incomplete.
+- Reuse shared React activity/form components before creating new ones.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Existing activity values load correctly.
+- Edit/save round trips through the backend.
+- Null withholding remains distinguishable from zero.
+- Flag changes do not modify unrelated activity fields.
+- Validation/errors are visible and consistent with shared UI patterns.
+- No tax calculations are performed in the frontend.
+
+## Tests
+Component/form behavior, null/zero withholding, true/false flag, API error handling, regression for existing activity editing.
