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.
