AccountRight v19.13 is a compliance update containing new tax tables. Unlike other updates, AccountRight v19.13:
- requires a full installation
- won't change your existing AccountRight v19 software, and
- requires a few additional post-installation tasks.
You might not have done some of these things for a while (or never) so we'll guide you through it.
Some of these tasks need to be repeated on all computers which use AccountRight, but others only need to be done once.
You'll need to install this upgrade on all computers currently using AccountRight v19. The easiest way to do this is through AccountRight.
