Open-source software

Repositories

• gnucash-uk-vat: VAT filing to UK HMRC MTD, using account information held in GnuCash or CSV files.

• ixbrl-reporter: Configurable production of iXBRL account files from account information held in GnuCash or CSV files. iXBRL is an international standard for production of accounts using a local/national taxonomies. This has been developed to file with UK HMRC / Companies House, but this has applications elsewhere.

• ixbrl-reporter-jsonnet: Produce configuration files for ixbrl-reporter from JSONNET configuration for more control over templates.

• gnucash-uk-corptax: Filing corporation tax statements to HMRC from accounts held in GnuCash or CSV files.

• gnucash-ch-filing: Filing Companies House accounts information. This has been developed to file iXBRL accounts generated by ixbrl-reporter.

• ct600-fill: Takes a HMRC Corptax filing configuration as used by gnucash-uk-corptax and overlays the numbers on a CT600 PDF form. No real application really, just if you have nostalgia for the CT600 form.

Accounts Machine

The accounts software at accountsmachine.io itself is open source.

• accounts-web: a web front-end developed in Angular, powers the app.accountsmachine.io web service.

• accounts-svc: Back-end which integrates with Google Cloud, supports state and report production filing. Only integrated with HMRC VAT at the moment.

These repos are maintained in Github and auto-deployed to a Google Cloud account using Pulumi. There are development, staging and production pipelines configured to support deployment of pull requests automatically.

Automated filing of small-company accounts to Companies Hose and HMRC Corporation tax is on the radar: 90% complete, but needs more to make it configurable and applicable for broader use. The accounts and and corptax filings can be constructed using the repositoies above.
