+       income or expense account with a value that is the negative of the split
+       in the stock account. These two splits can be in a separate transaction
+       (as created by scrubbing) or in the same transaction as the sale (this
+       will cause incorrect future scrubbing). The income or expense split can
+       be split into multiple splits, say for taxable/non-taxable or

 -    <para>Alcuni capitali re investibili possono variare il loro valore nel tempo come, per esempio, le azioni, le obbligazioni, gli immobili o le auto. Alcune attività (es: le azioni) possono aumentare in valore mentre altre (es: un’auto) posso perdere valore. È importante essere in grado di valutare queste variazioni nel valore del capitale: questo capitolo illustrerà come procedere.</para>

+ 
 -    <para>Probabilmente tutto ciò che si possiede aumenterà o diminuirà il proprio valore al trascorrere del tempo; quindi è importante capire per quali di questi beni sia indicato tracciarne le variazioni del valore. Si consiglia di tracciare il valore solamente per quei beni che potranno essere venduti in futuro in cambio di liquidi o che sono relativi alle imposte.</para>

 -    <para>I beni consumabili (es: il cibo, il carburante per l’auto, o la carta per la stampante) ovviamente non risultano interessati dall’argomento; inoltre, anche se il nuovo abito che si è appena acquistato perderà valore, non si desidererà tracciare questa diminuzione dato che non si avrà l’intenzione di rivenderlo e non si dovranno pagare delle imposte per la svalutazione dell’abito. Quindi, per questo esempio, l’acquisto di un nuovo abito dovrebbe essere registrato come una semplice uscita...i soldi spesi sono andati (!).</para>

 -    <para>La rivalutazione (aumento del valore) di un bene avviene quando ciò che si possiede aumenta il proprio valore al trascorrere del tempo. Quando si possiede un bene che ha aumentato il proprio valore, la differenza tra il suo prezzo di acquisto e il suo nuovo valore prende il nome di <emphasis>guadagno non realizzato</emphasis>. Quando il bene viene venduto, il profitto che se ne ricava è noto con il nome di <emphasis>guadagno realizzato</emphasis> o <emphasis>guadagno in conto capitale</emphasis>. Un esempio di bene da cui è possibile avere dei guadagni non realizzati ed eventualmente dei guadagni in conto capitale, è una azione di una società pubblicamente scambiata.</para>

 -    <para>I metodi contabili per trattare le rivalutazioni di un bene, sono in qualche modo diversi da quelli per le svalutazioni dato che generalmente si è interessati solamente al momento in cui si rivende il bene e si ottiene un guadagno in capitale; questo è in contrasto con la natura continua del deprezzamento. I guadagni in conto capitale sono un argomento importante nella sfera di influenza della tassazione, poiché i governi tendono a essere interessati a far gravare le imposte sui guadagni in conto capitale in un modo o nell’altro.</para>

 -    <para>I titoli scambiati quotidianamente nei mercati aperti come le Borse, rappresentano probabilmente la tipologia più semplice di bene per cui predire un valore e vendere il bene al prezzo di mercato è semplice quanto chiamare il proprio Brocker (mediatore). Per contro, la stima del valore di una casa è ben più complesso. Le case sono vendute meno frequentemente delle azioni, e la compravendita consiste di grandi sforzi e negoziazioni per cui le stime tendono a essere meno precise. Allo stesso modo, la vendita di un’auto prevede delle trattative che rendono il prezzo meno prevedibile.</para>

I mercati per questi oggetti sono di nicchia e quindi meno aperti rispetto a quelli delle azioni e delle case. Ancora peggio sono i beni unici nel loro genere; le fabbriche, generalmente, possiedono dei macchinari che costano centinaia di migliaia di euro, costruiti appositamente per realizzare determinati prodotti. Queste apparecchiature non hanno valore al di fuori di un contesto specifico.

Per tutti gli altri beni, è meglio attendere semplicemente il momento della vendita, nel quale è possibile determinare esattamente il guadagno in conto capitale. Naturalmente non esiste una regola scritta per questo e infatti diversi contabili adottano diversi comportamenti in questi casi.</para>

 -    <title>Tassazione</title>
 -
 -    <para>Le politiche di tassazione variano considerevolmente fra un paese e un altro, quindi è virtualmente impossibile pronunciarsi in modo valido universalmente. Comunque, è possibile affermare che comunemente le entrate generate dai guadagni in conto capitale non sono soggette a tassazione fino al momento in cui il bene viene venduto e a volte nemmeno in questo momento. I proprietari di case nel Nord America, normalmente si ritrovano a non dover pagare nessuna tassa per il guadagno in capitale che ottengono dalla vendita. Altri paesi invece trattano la vendita delle case in modo differente: le autorità tedesche, per esempio, tassano i guadagni in capitale derivanti dalla vendita di una casa, solamente se si è stati proprietari per meno di dieci anni.</para>
 -
 -    <para>Chris Browne ha una storia da raccontare relativa a quando era un professionista della preparazione delle tasse; una famiglia che aveva venduto una fattoria, si aspettava una considerevole somma di tasse da pagare che però in realtà, furono quasi nulle per il fatto che avevano ottenuto la proprietà prima del 1971 (in cui è stabilita una data critica per le valutazioni in Canada) e dato che la fattoria era anche un caseificio per cui erano possibili alcune particolari deduzioni. La morale di questa storia è che mentre qui è stato mostrato in modo semplice, la tassazione può divenire molto complicata...</para>

 +    <para>Le politiche di tassazione variano considerevolmente fra un paese e un altro, quindi è virtualmente impossibile pronunciarsi in modo valido universalmente. Comunque, è possibile affermare che comunemente le entrate generate dai guadagni in conto capitale non sono soggette a tassazione fino al momento in cui il bene viene venduto e a volte nemmeno in questo momento. I proprietari di case nel Nord America, normalmente si ritrovano a non dover pagare nessuna tassa per il guadagno in capitale che ottengono dalla vendita. Altri paesi invece trattano la vendita delle case in modo differente: le autorità tedesche, per esempio, tassano i guadagni in capitale derivanti dalla vendita di una casa, solamente se si è stati proprietari per meno di dieci anni.</para>

La morale di questa storia è che mentre qui è stato mostrato in modo semplice, la tassazione può divenire molto complicata...</para>

 +    <para>Your default account currency is set in the <guilabel>Account</guilabel> tab
 +    under <menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Preferences</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
 +    (<menuchoice><guimenu>GnuCash</guimenu><guimenuitem>Preferences</guimenuitem></menuchoice> on Mac OS X).</para>
 +
 +    <para>Similarly, <application>GnuCash</application> offers an option to
 +    set your preferred currency for displaying reports (like the balance
 +    sheet and income statement). The option is called <guilabel>Default
 +    Report Currency</guilabel>, and is in the <guilabel>Reports</guilabel>
 +    tab of the <guilabel>GnuCash Preferences</guilabel> screen.
 +    You’ll want to set both options when you start using
 +    <application>GnuCash</application> because if (for example) your accounts
 +    are all in Canadian Dollars but the generated reports are all in US
 +    Dollars, the reports will just say that there are <quote>no
 +    data/transactions (or only zeroes) for the selected time
 +    period</quote>.</para>
 +
 +    <para>When you create a new account, you have the option to define the
 +    commodity in which that account is denominated. For accounts denominated 
 +    in a currency, you can specify any of the currencies supported by <application>GnuCash</application> 
 +    by simply selecting it from the currency commodity list. You will notice 
 +    that the default currency is the currency that is defined for the parent 
 +    account of the new account.</para>
 +
 +    <para>As an example, let’s set up a bank account scenario where
 +    you mostly work in US Dollars, but do also have a European bank account
 +    using the Euro currency, as well as one bank account in Hong Kong using
 +    Hong Kong Dollars. So, set up 3 bank accounts, one denominated in US Dollars, 
 +    one using Euros, and the third in Hong Kong Dollars. One possible account
 +    structure for this would be:</para>
  
 -    </sect2>
 +    <literallayout>
 +-Assets (USD)
 +   -Current Assets (USD)
 +      -US Bank (USD)
 +      -European Bank (EUR)
 +      -HK Bank (HKD)
 +-Equity (USD)
 +   -Opening Balances (USD)
 +      -USD (USD)
 +      -EUR (EUR)
 +      -HKD (HKD)
  
 -    <sect2>
 -      <title>Configurare i conti</title>
 +Note: the currency of each account is shown in parenthesis.
 + </literallayout>
  
-     <para>Since in this example you mostly work in USD, all of the parent
-     accounts are set to USD. Of course, if you mostly work in Euros, you could
-     change the currency of these parent accounts to EUR. The totals shown in
-     the account tree window will always be converted to the currency of each
-     particular account. Notice, we also set up 3 Starting Balances equity
-     accounts, used to initially populate the 3 banks.</para>
+       <para>This time let’s start with a fresh and new <application>GnuCash</application> data file, so
+       <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>New File</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, and edit
+       preferences (<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Preferences</guimenuitem></menuchoice>,
+       <menuchoice><guimenu>GnuCash</guimenu><guimenuitem>Preferences</guimenuitem></menuchoice> on Mac OS X)
+       to set Default Currency as AUD. Since you have
+       decided to be able to track as much detail of your income and expenses
+       as possible, the following account hierarchy could be used;</para>
  
 -      <literallayout>
 -Attività:Attività correnti:Conto risparmio         (EUR)
 -      </literallayout>
 +    <note>
 +      <para>You could also set up just a single Starting Balance account and
 +      use a currency transfer to populate the <quote>different currency</quote> accounts.
 +      However, this is more advanced option, which is explained in a later
 +      section (<xref linkend="currency_purchase2"/>).</para>

 -      <para/>
 -    </sect2>
 +    <para>Below you see the result of this example, in which you start with
 +    USD 10,000, EUR 10,000 as well as HKD 10,000 in the three bank accounts.
 +    Notice that the total of the parent accounts only shows the value of the
 +    currency of sub-accounts with matching currencies. In other words, the 
 +    Total Assets and Total Equity values only reflect USD amounts, because <application>GnuCash</application>
 +    has no way of evaluating the value of EUR or HKD yet. Once you set up 
 +    exchange rates between the currencies, the parent accounts
 +    will calculate the converted value of all sub-accounts. See the later
 +    section (<xref linkend="currency_howto1"/>) on ways to do this.</para>

 +      <para>Usually when we talk about currencies, we mean
 +      government-backed currencies (or more precisely, currencies defined
 +      in <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217">ISO 4217</ulink>).
 +      <application>GnuCash</application> does not allow you to create your
 +      own currencies. If you want to track non-<acronym>ISO</acronym>
 +      currencies, you can use either of two workarounds, depending on which
 +      fits your needs better.</para>
 +      
 +      <para>The first method is is to treat these as if they were a security—that
 +      is, like a stock or mutual fund. The second method is to use one of the <quote>dummy</quote>
 +      currencies for them.</para>
 +
 +      <para>Let’s say for example that you want to track loyalty points 
 +      you’ve earned by buying from a certain group of businesses. The 
 +      account which tracks your loyalty points will be 
 +      <emphasis>Assets:Other:LoyaltyGroupRewardMiles</emphasis>.</para>
 +
 +      <para>In the first method, you define a new security, of type <guilabel>FUND</guilabel>,
 +      called RewardMiles. This is pretty straightforward—when you
 +      create the new <emphasis>LoyaltyGroupRewardMiles</emphasis> account, just set the account
 +      type to <guilabel>Stock</guilabel> or <guilabel>Mutual
 +      Fund</guilabel>, click the <guibutton>Select...</guibutton> button
 +      next to the <guilabel>Security/currency:</guilabel> box, and click
 +      <guibutton>New</guibutton> to define a new security of type
 +      <guilabel>FUND</guilabel>.</para>
 +
 +      <para>This is not really what the stock and mutual fund account types
 +      are meant for, but <application>GnuCash</application> will allow it. The downside is
 +      that you’ll have to enter a <quote>price</quote> for every
 +      transaction involving this account, because
 +      <application>GnuCash</application> needs the prices to figure out the
 +      monetary value of the points and treat them as one of your
 +      assets.</para>
 +
 +      <para>In the second method, you use one of the dummy
 +      currencies to track the loyalty points. These currencies are
 +      <quote>XTS (Code for testing purposes)</quote> and <quote>XXX (No
 +      currency)</quote>. If you use one of these for your
 +      LoyaltyGroupRewardMiles account, you can enter transactions into the
 +      account without having to enter share prices for every transaction.
 +      And, you can keep using the same two dummy currencies to track all
 +      sorts of amounts—vacation dollars earned and used so far this
 +      year, vacation hours earned and used, health insurance benefits
 +      allowance used and remaining, and so on.</para>

 +      <para>The drawback with this second method is that you cannot define exchange rates for

 +      currencies. If you want to do that, you really should use the first
 +      method.</para>

+      sell transactions in the account without regard to whether the gains and
+      losses are recorded or not. Any realized gain splits are ignored.
+      Realized gain splits are recognized as two splits, one in the stock’s
+      account with a zero number of shares and a non-zero value, the other in an
+      income or expense account with a value that is the negative of the split
+      in the stock account. These two splits can be in a separate transaction
+      (as created by scrubbing) or in the same transaction as the sale (this
+      will cause incorrect future scrubbing). The income or expense split can
+      be split into multiple splits, say for taxable/non-taxable or

     <title>3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
     <para>If you publish printed copies of the <link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100, and the Document’s license notice requires <link linkend="fdl-cover-texts">Cover Texts</link>, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the <link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.</para>

     <para>If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.</para>

     <para>If you publish or distribute <link linkend="fdl-transparent">Opaque</link> copies of the <link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable <link linkend="fdl-transparent">Transparent</link> copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.</para>
