being a contractor, I just add my fortnightly pay details to a line in a text file. I've done a program in python that then reads the file and sums up the quarters and the years, for the various breakdowns of gross, practice fees, take home pay, and gst paid. So this isn't really an issue. I just wanted to see if pracsoft did this.
