The Government, and governments, (all parties) have backed-off on the income tax and switched to a revenue system based on employment taxes, sales taxes, fines, and 2013 tax brackets. If you look at the big picture, both parties want more of your money. Who knows, maybe they deserve it.

Doing online bookkeeping on our own is beneficial if we have the right knowledge and skill to handle the job. And with free accounting software out there, management and convenient access to your files are now easier to accomplish. Thank you for sharing this with us! Lynette Bass
