Hi Earle,
I use the transaction report for my quarterly VAT returns here in the UK.
Granted, it isn't a summary, but I don't mind the extra detail, it often helps
when something doesn't quite add up right!
Have you looked at the profit & Loss report? (under Reports -> Income &
expenses) it might do what you want?
HTH,
Maf.
