Eriks Dobelis commented on OFBIZ-362:
-------------------------------------

This is not a requirement of just one specific case, it generally applies to 
all 25 EU countries as far as I know and probably many more having VAT tax 
regulation. 

If there is no Country level tax authority associated, then the Tax ID is just 
not printed, so I don't see a problem for users who don't care about Tax ID - 
they just don't enter those and invoice is created without them. So I don't see 
the need for commenting out - it is checked in the if statement anyway, and I 
can add some more conditionals if it still gets printed when it shouldn't.

The correct solution would be to separate Sales tax from VAT tax, and if the 
company doesn't have VAT tax id - then don't print it (as would be the case in 
US), if it has then - print it (as it is most probably required). This would 
require a lot of effort throughout the Ofbiz as Sales tax and VAT tax are 
currently treated as being the same though they are not.

> In certain countries if the invoice contains VAT you have to display VAT tax 
> ID on the invoice. My patch checks whether the company has registered with 
> tax authority in the country of the billing address, and if yes then includes 
> Tax ID in the invoice header.
