You do not need a certified level 3 bookkeeper. I have done it myself for years, two years ago I handed it to my CPA since I did not have a software to do it. Since December 2007, Drorit is certified and thus I can use it. You can use a piece of paper but also on pieces of paper there are some laws you need to obey. You can submit reports either on paper or from a ceritified software. Today, a certified software must be able to output files in a predefined format (open format, defined by tax authorities). Therefore GNUCash will not be accepted as it can not output these files. -- Ori Idan
