I'm using sql-ledger (www.sql-ledger.org) which has nicely replaced MYOB.
It has a couple of features missing (payroll for one) but they are in the
pipeline. It's got an active user community and quite a few aussies in
there.

My good friend Darren has converted the ATO web site tax table pdf into a
spreadsheet, and I'm in the process of converting that into a tab
delimited text file. If anyone wishes I will put it on a site for
download. Is there a copyright or liability issue? What if i just say that
there will be a nice jumble of numbers and if you happened to notice a
correlation with the tax table that's a useful coincidence? would that
work?

David.
