As an aside, tracking vehicle costs will become harder when one plugs in at home (EV) & wants to be re-imbursed. The issue is the tax collectors need an audit trail. Here in Australia it seems it might be easier to merely claim Kms (that the tax office has a standard Km rate for). Does not affec

I am no expert, but this sounds similar to Australia. I have set up transaction reports (that I then ´saved´ the configuration) that has the relevant accounts or sub-accounts selected. Then in ´general´ there is an option for start date & end date. Set these to start & end of Tax year (1 July t

Here is a bit of a left field answer: Why not try PCLinuxOS? You can download a copy & install it on a bootable USB stick (or similar). Once booted, you can load GnuCash from the repository & try it. The current version in the repository is 5.10. Then if the W10 Gnucash file is readable, you coul
