Hi Jacopo
I think we may be a better way of going about this... Is there anyone
who ever needs the tax calculations broken out?
Although the software currently calculates tax on an item by item basis,
I do not believe that this is standard practice, even in the United
States.
Instead, could the functionality be changed to perform the aggregated
tax calculations universally, as I believe that this is also an
acceptable way of calculating taxes in the United States?
Thanks
Daniel
