[GNC] Capital gains reporting - Australia
I'm recently using Gnucash to record personal share trading, including commissions, and whenever shares are sold I use scrubbing to capture capital gains/losses in some custom Income accounts (short term and long term). These transactions are recording across many Asset accounts (one per security), and in multiple currencies (as per the country/currency in which the security is purchased). In Australia, we need to report these realized capital gains during the financial year (which runs to 1-Jul to 30-Jun here) . to assist tax preparation by an accountant, I would normally create a basic spreadsheet where each row contains Name of Security, Quantity of shares, Date Acquired, Date Sold, Cost , Proceeds, Net Gain(or Loss) Ideally the Cost and Proceeds should also include the commission charged (so the Gain is net of all commissions), and the amounts converted to my local currency (AUD). So now I am looking for a gnucash report that might automate this process. I was trying to use Tax Schedule Report (which I think is for US tax preparation), which seems to pick up the gains for the date range (provided I select the Income accounts for capital gains), but it is missing other details (data acquired, date sold), plus it's insisting in converting to USD (rather than using my local currency AUD). Alternately, I am able to generate an "Advanced Portfolio" report, which also does include capital gains (realized and unrealized), but it is missing the date range for the realized capital gains, and does not seem to allow me to filter down to a date range. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for generating this sort of extract for realized capital gains with details of the relevant dates the asset was bought and sold. Thanks.

Of the 6, I have to confess that I read it too hastily and I don't have to do VAT, so the VAT bridge won't be of interest to me.

It looks as though the download of the Perl .MSI file succeeded but the attempt to copy it to your %TEMP% directory failed (with the access violation), so that when the install-fq-mods script trued to run it it wasn't there, producing the "could not open" error you displayed. You say you can "see the file it is looking for", by which you presumably mean the PERL.MSI file in the %TEMP% directory. What is the file size? Does it look plausible for the installer of a large package? You could try running the .MSI file from the command line. If that succeeds, then running install-fq-mods ought to mean it will find Perl already present and proceed to the rest of its work. BTW it is regarded as helpful to state the OS you are running on (clearly Windows, but Win10Home? Win10Pro?) and which version of Gnucash (presumably 4.4 for a new install). ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Re: [GNC] Newby questions opening accounts
peter A pretty fair summary. On Q2. It is not so much a question of what GnuCash likes as one of standard accounting practice. Not sure where your finance guy learned his accounting. GnuCash implements what is known as a double entry accounting system. Every transaction debits one account and credits another and the system of accounts in general obeys a set of rules about the sums of debits and credits in a transaction (among others) that satisfy what is known as the accounting equation which defines the relationships between the different types of accounts. Section 4.63 of the Conceptual Framework of the IFRS (International Accounting Standards) defines Equity as the residual interest in Assets after subtracting any Liabilities against those assets. This is the same definition as in GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) which will be found in the standards of most countries, even those who have not adopted the IFRS formally at this stage (US for example). If Equity accounts are held under Liabilities the balances of Assets and Liabilities and Equity will no longer reflect the relationship Assets - Liabilities = Equity. This is usually expressed as Assets = Liabilities + Equity +Income -Expenses. Income(or Revenue) and Expenses are both also equity accounts but only record transactions for the current period ( and are called temporary accounts for this reason) in traditional accounting practice and are closed to Equity at the end of the accounting period in manual pen/paper bookkeeping. GnuCash however does not require a formal closing in the traditional manner, although it can be done if required, as its reporting system performs the necessary calculations in constructing the reports for a given period.

But the CSV export already exists.

Re: [GNC] Configuring Automatic Retrieval Quotes error
Hi Denise I am not sure why you have encountered that error. As a workaround, you could try installing Strawberry Perl independently from this web site: https://strawberryperl.com/ Once perl is installed, you need to run the "gnc-fq-update" script (also located in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\" directory) to install the perl modules required to retrieve online quotes. [Background: GnuCash relies on another free software package (perl) to access online quotes. Perl is not part of GnuCash.] Report back here if you get stuck.

Re: [GNC] UK specific: MTD - Making Tax Digital
Good points. I have bridge software already working and approved by HMRC for use. My initial thought was to have a report in GnuCash that generated the VAT report for a period. There would then be a menu option to submit VAT. This menu option would generate a csv file containing the VAT values for submission. The bridge software is then invoked independently and submits the VAT return to HMRC. As there are only about 6 users interested, it is definitely not worth the effort! -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
