[SLUG] revisiting a hot topic (accounting systems)

[Hugh Madden <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

Is there any good open office spreadsheets floating around, or have any
of the open source projects started to support australia tax?

There must be a couple of hundred thousand home rolled systems around
australia, why aren't any of them open source and shared?

cheers,
Hugh
