Re: [GNC] Changes in gnucash 4 vs 3

When gnucash is run without a command line argument, it no longer opens the most recently-opened file. The specific filename must be given each time. Income accounts now have negative balances. Same for equity. Liability balance signs are flipped as well. I have a saved report which generates a plot of assets over time, and that report no longer displays the plot. The table of values vs time is still printed and the numbers look correct. This seems like it could be some sort of unmet graphics package dependency, but there is no error message generated on the terminal or in the GUI. There seems to be nothing on the "GnuCash News" page at https://www.gnucash.org/news.phtml, on the changes introduced in gnucash 4.0. Is there somewhere else to find them? Thanks for any input. I understood that Ubuntu 22.04 is not due to be released for another six weeks. Are you using an alpha test version? Thence, is the software (applications), also, alpha test version? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) .. ___ 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] Am I in business?

We are not registered for gst and are not in business though I have an ABN leftover from when I attempted an online business. Are we conducting an enterprise? Will be be eligible to pay GST when we sell any of those properties? Should we be keeping certain records? Should the arrangement be formalised as a partnership or something? What should we be aware of? I'm putting my personal household expenses etc. into gnucash but not in any really strict or serious way. Should I be getting that more properly organised? This is the only forum I know of where I can ask such questions. If it's misuse of this forum and anyone knows a more fitting place please let me know. :) ab This is a software users list, for seeking assistance in using the particular software. Asking what you have, is like going and sitting in the waiting area of a medical practice or a hospital, and seeking qualified medical advice from the people waiting to get medical advice and treatment. If you want to get brain surgery, or, your house built and maintained, or, your car serviced, by a layman, who might not have relevant skills or experience, then, okay, do it that way. As an unqualified layman, my personal opinion, of no consequence, being not a qualified professional, is quite simple - you are renting out at least one property - you are obtaining income by other than direct payment for your labour (wages); therefore, you are operating a business. Go to a qualified and accredited, practising accountant. Whilst you conspicuously omitted the information of where you are located, with the use of the terms GST and ABN, in combination, you appear to be in Australia. Therefore, you would be subject to Australian taxes and tax laws. Which means that, ever since you started renting out your properties, you are supposed to have been declaring all income and expenditure, related to them, and, possibly your residence. In Australia, I believe that the applicable term for whom you need to see, is a CPA - a Certified Practising Accountant. You need to consult with one, as soon as possible. Find one in your area, and, make an appointment, and explain all of your sources of income, and, seek CERTIFIED, QUALIFIED, advice, as soon as possible. Fines for not having met obligations regarding tax laws, can be expensive, and, provide no benefits (other than an expensive learning experience) for the individual. Lack Of Knowledge is no defence (people often quote the malapropism "Ignorance is no defence", but, ignorance involves a deliberate act to ignore knowledge, which is different to lacking the knowledge). Asking here, for the advice that you have asked, is the same as getting sex education from a group of idiots hiding somewhere, inhaling toxic smoke, for the fun of it (mostly, purely because it is forbidden and unhealthy, making them, more the idiots) - you might get someone who knows what they are talking about, and, you may not. This is a software users mailing list, not a forum for getting the advice that should be available from a Certified Practising Accountant, and, a Certified Practising Accountant, of Australia, familiar with Australian tax law, is the only kind of person, from whom you should be seeking the advice that you are seeking, and, the only source of advice of which you should heed, other than the advice to go and consult with one. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) .. ___ 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] Recommended Accounting Books (Jonathan Drews)

I have GnuCash successfully installed: $ gnucash --version GnuCash 5.5 Build ID: 5.5+(2023-12-16) on: OpenBSD 7.5 GENERIC.MP#82 amd64 Can anyone recommend some good books or tutorials on double entry acoounting? I searched the arcchives but did not find any posts on recommended books. I have ordered this book: Accounting QuickStart Guide : The Simplified Beginner's Guide by Josh Small. I am opening a fabric store in early May and want to use GnuCash to keep track of my sewing fabric sales and inventory. It's pretty modest. About 280 individual items. Are there any examples of *.gnucash files I can use as a template? -- Kind regards, I do not profess to more knowledgeable than anyone else, but, I believe that you need to access books, documentation, and/or tuition, applicable to your location, as different countries and regions have different applicable laws relating to acceptable accounting practices, and to tax laws, which are an integral part of accounting practices. I am an unqualified lay person, but, such is my belief.
