Geoff,
While I know that there are lots of complications and non-sense things
in the Israeli tax laws, I am afraid that your point of view makes
things more complicated than they really are.

I have been using an accounting program running in MS-DOS (!), but now
(due to reasons into which I'll not go now) I am faced with either going

My work flow has always been to provide the data to my CPA and have him
submit the reports. The fact that this work flow will stay the same is
what is simplifying the problem.

This can be part of the proposed GNUCash-for-Israel HOWTO - how to
prepare a .xls file so that its contents can be imported into all
accounting programs approved in Israel.
