Hi Jan-Marc, We are based in the Netherlands use ledger to do all our accounting, multi-currency, multiple holding firms, etc. There is nothing in ledger that inherently ties it to a certain country. That said, we do use several Ruby scripts to pre-process the ledger files so ledger can easily spit out VAT (BTW) and ICP (intra-EU booking) numbers. We could conceivably use ledger to calculate some of those things as well, but the pre-processing in Ruby is simply what we're comfortable with.
If you set things up correctly it's really easy to keep separate accounts for different users and still get combined totals (simply create a text file that includes the different books of all users).
