Interesting. What is the taxing jurisdiction? Is it a tax on sales

tax is on total revenues, somewhat like a surcharge on existing VAT.

OFX as a format does several things CSV does not. It can give a

are a number of repeated transactions of the same amount and similar

unique identifier.

Have you tried sqlite? I don't know how it works on Windows but it might
just save it as a file without setting up a salute back end. Maybe try that

The idea about the images is a very good one. Invoices, receipts,

No question that databases are capable of much greater depth,

Curious about this. So is the goal to show all times in UTC on

Yes, thank you, I may try building from source. Has there ever been a
