What the money card on the Dashboard shows
The Your money today card at the top of the Ledger Dashboard shows your money as of today, not for the period you have picked. Each line opens the screen that shows the same figure.
- You're owed is what your customers still owe you, the same figure as Outstanding on Invoicing › Overview, with the overdue part beside it. An invoice in another currency counts at its value in your book's currency.
- TALISK_HQ captured counts the bills and receipts TALISK_HQ picked up from your inbox or your phone scans in the last 7 days. It says they are in your books only for the ones that have posted; the others are waiting for your review. The line opens Ledger › Expenses on exactly those documents, up to the newest 50.
- Set aside for the current period names your open GST/HST filing period, for example Q3 2026 (Sep–Nov), and the tax recorded in it up to today. It is the figure the GST/HST tab shows for that window. A QST registrant sees GST/HST and QST as two separate figures, as the tab shows them.
- A second Set aside line, marked not filed yet, appears when the filing period before that one has ended and no return for it is recorded in TALISK_HQ. It shows that whole period's tax, late claims included, and the date the payment is due, in red once that date has passed. It goes away when you Mark as filed, or record the return as filed elsewhere.
That last line needs a GST number on your business, and it leaves out a period that ended before your books start: its tax is in your opening balances.
Good to know: The card reads your books and changes nothing. Its figures are as of today,
not the period picked on the Dashboard. A tax figure that is zero or a refund
is left out, and the card does not appear when there is nothing to show.
