balance sum -- meaning
Hello, I have a negative balance in my accounts when I run the "bal" command (no other options). What does this mean?

IANAL, and it obviously varies with the country, but in my country (Poland) a gift is exempt from tax unless it's really valuable, and there are 3 thresholds above which it becomes taxable - the highest threshold is for the closest family members and the lowest one for non-relatives. I imagine similar laws may exist in other countries. > There is a specific term “taxable income”, which suggests that not all > income is taxable. > > Depending on local laws, gifts could also be taxable. > > Depending on local laws, different sources of income could be taxed at > different rates. > > Therefore, consult the laws and maybe file gifts as tax-exempt income.

There is a specific term “taxable income”, which suggests that not all income is taxable. Depending on local laws, gifts could also be taxable. Depending on local laws, different sources of income could be taxed at different rates. Therefore, consult the laws and maybe file gifts as tax-exempt income. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

I have used income:taxable and income:taxfree in the past to disambiguate. Tax free income, at least in the UK, does exist in the form of, for instance, interest from various allowable types of savings accounts. -- Eric S Fraga via gnus (Emacs 30.0.50 2023-09-14) on Debian 12.1 -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.

Re: A how to question - -
I believe it's still income, but you can put it in a different category (I use Income:Other, maybe Income:Gifts could work if you believe you'll be gifted money often) If you really want to avoid using Income, you could do some juggling using Assets:Receivables:... As a last resort you could balance it with Equity:Adjustments but it feels wrong.

Greetings Any idea on how to enter the inflow of capital that is a gift - - - so its NOT income - - - ideas? (I did check the manual nothing included. This is a bit more an unusual area in accounting but I'm not sure of how to accurately log this.) TIA -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
