For example, the Beancount web interface has a link for each tag, that allows you to view balance sheet, income statement, etc. for the subset of transactions with that tag (e.g. expenses during a trip or for a project). Just to be clear, what you mean is having two transactions, one tagged and one untagged: 2013/05/17 * Myself Assets:Checking:Myself $3500.00 Income:Salary:Family Allowance $-100.00 Income:Salary:Taxable:Net 2013/05/17 * Booking taxes #taxes Expenses:Taxes:Salary $1700.00 Income:Salary:Taxable:Taxes $-1700.00 so you could view summaries of the transactions including or excluding those with a #taxes tag. This has the advantage of not breaking the balancing rules. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
