Hi all, I use sql-ledger as well. http://www.sql-ledger.com/
It does GST and PST for Canada eh! But probably can be used for Australian GST without too much trouble. It should be able to apply on the same invoice taxable and non-taxable items/services. Each part or service you setup you can specify if it is taxable. -- Dave Peters On Sun, May 09, 2004 at 05:06:52PM +1000, David wrote: > > > On Sun, 9 May 2004, Hugh Madden wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I realise this thread was done to death a few years back. > > > > Anyway, perhaps the situation has improved. > > > > I resent having to purchase myob or quicken and vmware simply to keep > > track of my finances. > > > > I'm wondering how to go about: > > BAS/STS/depreciating assets > > > > GNU Cash looks pretty awful in respect to GST. > > I've been using SQL-Ledger now for two years (two tax returns).
