Gerard,
If you've not done so yet, maybe take a look through the recent posts
here referring to OpenERP, etc. Many book-keeping systems were mentioned.
I'm assuming you'd prefer a *Nix-based system, and maybe FOSS? And you
mentioned VAT:
- Many of the major systems clearly state that they do not support VAT.
- Some suggest that their tax handling can be configured to handle
VAT - but that might be optimistic!
- And, of those with good VAT support, some don't support the "cash
accounting" VAT schemes, and that eliminates some more candidates.
Mike.
