[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-362?page=comments#action_12440653 ] 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. > Adding Tax ID in invoice header > ------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-362 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-362 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: accounting > Reporter: Eriks Dobelis > Assigned To: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Minor > Fix For: SVN trunk > > Attachments: headerTaxID.diff, invoicetaxid.diff, viewinvoice.ftl.diff > > > In certain countries if the invoice contains VAT you have to display VAT tax > ID on the invoice.
