Hi Iain
I had quick look at this as I'm a kiwi and I'll need the same thing at
point in the future for our GST here, so far all I've found is
calcAndAddTax in CheckOutHelper.java which does nothing if the order
type is not a sales order. I guess that would need to modified to
handle purchase orders and somewhere further down the line would need to
be logged against a different account rather than the 'sales tax
collected' account. You would need to make it fairly flexible as you
probably don't want GST showing up on overseas purchase orders which
would be paid to customs rather than the supplier.
Good luck
Scott

Has anyone worked out a method for tracking GST/VAT on purchases (not
sales)?
The code makes a pretty big assumption that SALES_TAX is not
applicable to purchases, so I can't use that plumbing to implement GST
on purchases, as you can with sales. Specifically, if I purchase
GST-ratable products worth $110 from a supplier, then $10 of that
(assuming a GST rate of 10%) is a claimable business expense. I need
this fact recorded somewhere.
I've tried to mess about with Promos and Agreements to "fake" it, but
no luck. Has anyone else solved this problem?
Cheers, Iain
