Hi Ian,

I also let the SX for council tax run forever, and just "remember" that the 
feb & march transactions are to be deleted once they have been created, then 
edit the template transaction each year when the new bill is issued.

I'm fairly sure, though, that you can set up a SX to be created say 10 times 
only - in the SX editor, try the "Occurrences" section in the "Overview" tab 
for that particular SX.

HTH,
Maf.
