Hi,

If I understand Daniel, he suggests to calculate tax on total and not
for each item. But as Jaques says in some country products can have
differents tax, but for example in French law we are not obliged to
alculate tax VAT for each item but for total item (total for item with
same rate).
But with tax there can be more problems as two differents VAT: for
example for alcohol, this products have very specifics tax (in France,
but I think it could be same in other countries). So to answer to all
tax rule we could create something like product price rules with rules
and action specific. For our customer we have to manage alcohol tax so
we will create this module.
