Well, we know that the polyatomic ion phosphate has the formula PO4^3-

The suffix "ite" tells us that we take one oxygen atom.

So phosphite is PO3^3-

Since the charge of phosphite is negative three, we need 3 gold ions to create a neutral ionic compound.

So, the chemical formula for gold phosphite is Au3PO3
