Andrew, As Michael pointed out, there is no real need in GnuCash to start a new file each year. The report structure is designed to produce appropriate reports as required. You just need to setup the options for the report after opening a copy of the report.in the window (menu is context sensitive).
If you do need to create a new file for some reason, use the File->Export->Export Account Tree to CSV to export your account structure, the Fuile->NewFile to open a new file.In the setup wizard you cannot proceed if you Clear All but if you select the Simple Check Book only two accounts are setup and these are easily deleted. Finish the Wizard. You can then delete the Checking account and Opening balances and then import your account structure from the CSV file you previously exported with File->Import->Import Accounts from CSV. You will need to setup the preferences for the new book/file to match your previous settings and the accounting period for your jurisdiction.
