Hi Jacques,
we (in Italy) too may have several tax rates in the same invoice; the
difference is that in Italy the amount of the tax is computed against
the total sum of the amounts of the items with the same rate.
For example, if in the same invoice I have two books (book_a and book_b)
and two computers (computer_a and computer_b):
productId | quantity | unitPrice | amount | tax rate
----------------------------------------------------
book_a | 1 | 10 | 10 | 5.5%
book_b | 1 | 20 | 20 | 5.5%
computer_a| 1 | 997 | 997 | 19.6%
computer_b| 1 | 1994 | 1994 | 19.6%
OFBiz calculates the sales tax for each item in this way:
book_a: 10 * 0.055 = 0.55$
book_b: 20 * 0.055 = 1.10$
computer_a: 997 * 0.196 = 195.41$
computer_b: 1994 * 0.196 = 390.82$
In Italy we calculate the sales taxes in this way:
tax 5.5%: (10 + 20) * 0.055 = 1.65$
tax 19.6%: (997 + 1994) * 0.196 = 586.24$
As you can see:
the computer taxes calculated by OFBiz are:
195.41 + 390.82 = 586.23
while the computer tax calculated in the 'Italian' way is:
586.24
