Does anyone know of a not-too-expensive accountancy app for Macs that incorporates a facility for VAT (Value Added Tax, the European equivalent of a sales tax). I know there's a good one called Quicken, but it's only for M'soft.

Intuit is back in the Mac business with QuickBooks for Mac.

Also, check out MYOB (Minding Your Own Bsuiness). This is a Canadian company, and I know there is also an Australian version. This might be your best option, since they are familiar with Commonwealth countries.

Edit: Of course I know how to spell "business." But my old arthritic fingers don't!

Interesting - Intuit doesn't make a UK Mac edition of Quicken! I was surprised, to say the least.

A little more expensive, but certainly much more robust is MYOB, which is available in a Mac UK version.

It is compared, often very favorably, with Intuit's competing accounting program, QuickBooks. I have used Quickbooks for Mac - it is easy to set up etc., but again, Intuit has not seen fit to release a Mac UK version.

And even better - you can download a trial version of MYOB from their web site and see how you like it.

bellbram,

You might want to check with your accountant for his recommendation.

Mine recommended MYOB over Quicken.
