Did you try on POS with last svn (that's what I guess but not sure) ? Because I 
have tried only without taxes yet ....

Yes that's the problem we have to cope with if we want to have happy customers 
:o)

For the moment taxes are not differentiated, please see :

Here they are some differents rules. For instance in Italy and France if you 
have Jacopo explained that here :

But it's no the same in Germany for instance. Here is also an interesting 
remark going your way (customising cutomers ;o)

Thanks for your comments

PS : One question out of subject : I do use Outlook Express (OE) on Windows 
(was trapped long before ;o). When I respond to an ML
msg only to the sender, automatically OE send also a copy to ML.
I wonder if it would not be a best practise to respond only to the ML (to avoid 
double messages to the intial sender). What do you
think ?
