Nor are they intended to be. TXF is a format invented by a US company, Intuit,
to transfer information from their Quicken personal finance manager to their US
tax-reporting program Turbotax. Other programs adopted the format as a defacto
standard. The codes are keyed to US tax forms. The code is in a directory named
libgnucash/tax/us and gnucash/report/reports/locale-specific/us. There's a
maintained German interpretation in libgnucash/tax/de_DE and
gnucash/report/reports/locale-specific/de_DE, but it hasn't had any substantive
maintenance in 12 years.
A PR for an Australian version would be welcome, but for it to be really useful
somebody has to maintain it like Alex does the US one. Even that ignores the
other end of the equation, the tax program to import the TXF data.
FWIW I have fairly complex taxes but i find it easier to run a balance sheet
and income statement for the end of the year and just fill out the Turbotax
questionnaires from that than to maintain the ever-changing relationships
between accounts and TXF categories.
