I am subject to two tax jurisdictions. Due to reasons, my assets have
different dates of acquisitions and thus different costs, in the two
jurisdictions. Any ideas on ways to try to handle this in beancount or with
outside tools helping?
Here's a concrete example to show what I mean
2020-03-12 * "Acquire 100 SMLF"
Assets:US:Interactive-Brokers 100 SMLF {31.455 USD}
Assets:US:Interactive-Brokers
when I view that under US tax laws it should be 100 shares acquired on
2020-03-12 with a cost basis of 31.455 USD.
when I view that under Australian laws it should be 100 shares acquired on
2024-10-12 with a cost basis of 66.31 USD.
To further complicate things, that "2024-10-12" means "according to the
Australian time zones" which means the price actually needs to be the NYSE
closing price as of 2024-10-11 due to timezones, so just pulling
information from the price map is not necessarily straight forward given
beancount doesn't include timezone information often making it unclear what
a date refers to.
I'm reasonably sure this is Just Too Hard to try to handle in beancount but
thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone has any clever ideas.
