548314 2007-05-08 10:48:00 I purchased this programme recently as I'm self employed in the film industry, and just need something to log my purchases etc ... mainly so that at the end of the financial year I can figure out what expenses were tax deductable etc.

I've just started looking at the programme and setting it up, and can't seem to find where you can enter whether you paid in cash, chq, credit card, eftpos etc ... does anyone know if this is an option? Or do I just put it all in as "bank statement" if its not a chq butt?

548315 2007-05-08 10:50:00 ah or maybe I put that in the reference column? yes? Just wondered if there was another way to do it. littlemissmarz (11897)
548316 2007-05-08 10:52:00 Oh and one other question .... if say I want to enter the transactions for the last 2 years (yes dont lecture me, ird already are!), is there a way to open up the date range to enter them all and it splits them into the correct tax year? so far I'm stuck on only being able to enter one month of transactions... littlemissmarz (11897)

Bit over the top then?
I have always just used Excel.

A number of columns, PArts, Vehicle, Power, Phone etc.

I do it each month, as I go, so at the end of the year its all very easy and takes only a couple of minutes.

I'm sure MYOB have a 0900 number for extracting money from you for support.

One serious suggestion I will make. I never used to have an accountant. I do now as they keep that side of things running smoothly and know how to deal with IRD.

This is a real put down.
By someone who didn't like Billy T's joke about Otara????

We use MYOB because that's what our accountant uses and we can simply transfer the MYOB files to her to get our tax done each year.
The program is great, littlemissmarz. Ignore this ignoramus and persevere. It's worth the time investment in the end when your business grows, as ours has.

And what does he/she mean by "I do it each month"?

I have the options of Cheque, Bank Statements, Deposits, Sundry Debits, Sundry credits, and journals. I was looking for being able to select A) what category it comes under such as office expenses, vehicle, food, etc ... and also be able to select whether it was paid by creditcard, cash, chq etc.

Guess you can't do that.

548323 2007-05-11 12:05:00 I also wonder once you've entered everything whether you can do a search or "reporting" to tell me how much i spend on my vehicle, how much i spent on food, how much on rent, how much on phone ... etc. as seperate categories. If i cant there's no point me having the programme as not all my expenses are fullly deductable. littlemissmarz (11897)
