Eneko, I noticed that recently, when I created the glossary in the guide. I am bit a user of any of those technologies myself, so I cannot honestly weigh in. However, I note that it still seems that those who do user them still refer to this as HBCI,  and not FinTS. I'm not certain, therefore, w

Hello bytes & money masters :) I'm an absolute beginner starting to study the GnuCash Tutorial & Concepts Guide. According to Wikipedia, the former HBCI (Home Banking Computer Interface) protocol is now called FinTS (Financial Transaction Services) . Do you t

Are you sure you are marking that the sales tax is included in the $20 price? That should cause GC to split it out when posting to the liability (for sales tax) and income accounts. The tax has zero to do with net income. It should not impact it in any way. It should never post to income and th

Thank you. I think I am doing what you have done. My problem is understanding why the 1.31 adds to Net Income instead of takes away from it when you create an income statement. It seems like sales tax would take away from net income, no? Is that what yours does? ___

Got the tax table to work. Per https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-help/busnss-ar-setup1.html, the way to set up a tax table is under Business select Sales Tax Table, select New. Call this Consulting Sales Tax, set the default type as "Percent", set the percentage to 7. Then go back and

I try to do what Pete needs, but get stuck where I need to create a Tax table. In my test company, I created an Income account for Consulting revenues and a Liability account for Sales Tax Payable. If I received the $20 in cash I would want to enter a transaction that would implement the followin
