I'm trying to find some open source accounting/tax software. The problem I have is that I don't know much about the subject yet so I don't know how to tell from the "feature lists" of the software I found if it can do what I am looking for. :) Before I go and install every single open source tax/accounting package known to man, I thought I would ask any of you guys that might run your own business.
It's nothing big, no business license, I'm not incorporated, I'll just be registering a trademark. I charge clients a per hour rate but I need to set some of the income aside so I make sure I have enough to pay my income tax at the end of the year, however since the income tax rate is dependent on what tax bracket you are in, I don't know how to go about doing that and I'm not willing to pay an accountant (I don't make enough money to warrant it yet :)
Does anyone know of any OSS software that can do that? My preferences would be:
1) Something web-based, PHP or Perl with MySQL or PostgreSQL backend 2) Something QT/KDE based if there isn't anything web-based out there 3) Something GTK/Gnome based if there isn't anything QT/KDE based out there
Any ideas?
Open Source Accounting Software might be tough. Accounting is a field in flux so it would be hard for an Open Source product to keep up with the changes. Now this is even more evident when looking at tax packages because tax regulations change yearly.
That said, I know of some people using SQL Ledger and Gnucash might work for a small business.
As for Commercial products, you probably want to look at AppGen's Product. http://www.appgen.com
They even have a Canadian version....
