Just keep in mind that people running such stores do not always have
time to keep up with the mailing lists and answer questions that come
along, so try to be reasonable with your expectations....

David - sorry if I came across as though I was demanding an answer.
I was just trying to point out how hellishly complicated VAT
classification, calculation and invoicing can get in the UK and
undoubtedly in other countries, too.
For instance, I have just come another ludicrous rule from Customs &
Revenue: packaged animal feed incurs standard VAT if it is less than
12.5 kg, otherwise zero VAT.
There are specific rules for rounding (on which digit, when up, when
down); invoices need to detail VAT codes for every item, etc, etc
I don't know OFBiz well enough yet to make an informed comment where and
how these tax issues are handled. I am just presuming that each country
will need its specific VAT implementation.
