Subject: Re: VAT Rates
Oui monsieur, you are right. When we send the monthly tax return to the
tax department, we always indicate the true net and the VAT, and the
gross is the sum of both amounts. Otherwise, rounding screws us.
BTW, we have electronic invoicing here, which consists of a Web Service
that we have to use to send the invoice and VAT information to the Tax
Dept. They receive it, and return the invoice number, and a very long
number which is called C.A.E. (Spanish for electronic authorization code)
If we do not receive the CAE and the invoice number back from the
WebService for whatever reason, we cannot issue the invoice. The invoice
is only legal if it contains those numbers. The WS replies in seconds,
so it is not a problem.
One of the main reasons for the WS to reject the data sent to it is the
f....g rounding you mention, that is why we send the actual net and tax,
plus the rate applied (there are some goods that are taxed at 21% and
some others that are taxed at 10.5% and even at 0%) It is very
complicated, but it works and we get good fees for maintaining those
routines :-)

I've had a lot of bunch and workarounds about that, 14 years ago,
while developing an app used by all our french mandatory
representations all over 27 countries (called "francophonie").
When you have, in a single bill, many lines expressed
in different currencies, someones having à converting rate
so low that their current unit is below the -3 decimals,
you'll have, formally, half a chance to get rounding issues !
