Indeed. I meant if HMRC ever asked. Sorry, didn't make that clear.

File1. Shareholdings tabulated in HYPTUSS.
File 2. Shareholdings tabulated in a MAIN ACCOUNT directory. (Shares listed in the same order as in HYPTUSS.)
The 2 files are held in separate directories with copies held on a separate device.
The HYPTUSS file is used only to scrape prices and to feed into the MAIN ACCOUNT file.
I do a cross check between the two files ( Value of File 1 - Value of File 2 = zero ....if not, error!).
In the Main Account file I have several ( ahem!) worksheets.
1. Dealing records
2. Dividend schedule ( company, account name , qty, dividend per share, total dividend, xd date, pay date xirr check, received check). This, I update manually...a mix of angst and joy ( who doesn't like recording a divi...even if it means tracking them?)
3. A sheet tabulating XIRR values (individual tables for each held share)
4. A sheet generated by pivot table summarising dividends in taxed and untaxed accounts.
5. A sheet summarising XIRR on shares held
6. A sheet containing cashflow in/out of the accounts.
7. A ' weighting ' sheet. Portfolio arranged in descending value ( value and percentage of total) and what type of investment (HYP, Income IT, Growth IT, Pref, Bond, Gilt)
The pivot table is used to track the extent of taxable dividends in my and my wife's accounts in ii and iWeb. It is also used to estimate tax payable and, in the New tax year, the best shares to ISA to reduce tax. Thus 'account name' can be one of eight names!
A man's gotta have a hobby... occasionally I get out! :

Lest anyone thinks I am a complete basket case, I do manage total dividends accumulated by ensuring a dividend holding bank account that pays a monthly sum into a spending account. We typically spend only about 75% of dividends received despite no particular effort to budget or save money. We are not big spenders by nature so hedonic inflation is not an issue.

They won’t ask. There is no requirement on brokers to document your income/gains from an ISA, either to you, or to HMRC. No Consolidated Tax Certificate. Explicitly nothing to report.
This lack of documentation can cause significant problems to foreign residents, who may have to pay foreign tax on their ISA earnings. If you want the figures for your own use, you will have to look at the cash settlement and add them up yourself.

The only reason HMRC might need to know of dividends in your ISA, AFAIIA, is if your executor is trying to demonstrate that gifts made were out of income and so not subject to IHT. ISA income can be included in the calculation of available income for that purpose. I have kept details for my executors for that reason.
