[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-366?page=comments#action_12445450 ] Eriks Dobelis commented on OFBIZ-366: -------------------------------------
I am fully supporting the idea of separating VAT from Sales tax, as realistically they are two different though similar things. Certainly, there are issues which relate to one and not the other and keeping everything together would make it more difficult to manage. As this is quite an update I guess we have to create a plan for it. First we should identify all the places to be changed. This is what comes to my mind: - OrderAdjustmentType - TaxAuthorityRateType - InvoiceItemType (thanks for these 3 David) - Tax calculation methods - Display and processing of taxes in ordermgr (and ecommerce) - Product management - VAT parameter and rate setting - Invoices Improvements useful for work with VAT: - Automatical inclusion of VAT in manually created invoices - VAT reports (paid/received VAT in time period, with TaxIDs of the parties) Probably I have missed a number of areas, please, add them. I am certainly willing to take some part of the required work, but I would feel much better if I was not the only one as this is a complex issue requiring 4 or 6 eyes at least. > Separate VAT from Sales Tax > --------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-366 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-366 > Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: accounting, ecommerce, order, party, pos, product > Affects Versions: SVN trunk > Reporter: Jacques Le Roux > Fix For: SVN trunk > > > We need to separate VAT from Sales Tax. > The main reason is that VAT taxe is a very important type of tax in EU (and I > guess on some other places) but not in US.
