Hi flywire, A couple of comments before I get into the meat of my response: - What you're asking about here is somewhat specific to Australia, and the details may not be applicable to other jurisdictions. - I'm not an accountant, so I'm not sure how an accountant would respond to

This might be a TAX issue but financial reporting is very much a GnuCash issue and has nothing to do with tax advice. Different terms being used for the same thing in different jurisdictions complicate the discussion, and then the taxes actually vary. I've managed to move most of my spreadsheet

Finbar, This is likely as specific as it gets or can get https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_invest.html. As others have mentioned the exact accounting treatment depends on the tax rules in your jurisdiction and likely business regulations if you are conducting investment as

I thought one was already opened. (but I admit I didn't search for it) If I recall correctly, it has to do with refreshing the register view. This seems to happen with registers that are left open at the last close and which re-open before the Since Last Run dialog fires. Though hitting

Accounting question --- how does YOUR jurisdiction tax "gains or losses from sale of securities"? In other words, you might very much NOT want to do this in your main books, as would complicate matters at tax time. This does NOT mean that you can't use gnucash to ALSO provide you with more
