American users?
I do not have an accounting background but so far I am impressed with the look and feel of Easy Books. I notice that some of the accounting process centers around VAT and GST. In the U.S., the closest thing we have at the moment is individual state sales and use tax. Some states have no sales tax while other states have sales tax rates that vary within the given state based on jurisdiction. In California, sales shipped out of the state are exempt from sales tax and registered resellers are also exempted. Meanwhile, there has been some discussion in Washington of creating a national sales tax, which I suppose might be similar to a GST or VAT.
It also seems to me that some of the accounting terminology used in the UK is different than in the U.S. [e.g. "consolidation"]
Looking through your user guide / knowledge base and searching the discussions, I have not found much reference directed to U.S. users. Should I wish to adopt EB as my bookkeeping tool, would you have any suggestions for a U.S. based non-accountant as how to set up a functional set of books in Easy Books?
I appreciate any thoughts on the subject. Please be kind.

Thanks for your kind comments. It's always best when making a change like this to speak to your accountant, he would be the best person to advise how best to use Easy Books.
I know many people in the U.S. are using Easy Books (and are tracking GST), in fact a high proportion of the sales are from the U.S.
