Just a quick thought on this... I don't think what remains to be done is too
large and risky, unless major design flaws are found in the current
TaxAuthority features that are meant to support VAT. Of course, how VAT is
handle DOES vary a bit from country to country, so implementers in one country
may have a different experience that those in another.
This stuff has been used as a basis for custom apps and has gone into
production, so chances are like you're saying Jacques that there are just some
UI review and changes that need to be made, like displaying prices with tax (or
because it is a CSR/manager app with and without tax) in the Order Manager.
(disclosure of hidden agenda: I don't want to say this is too large or risky
because it reduces the chances of someone taking the plunge and working on
it... ;) )

AFAIK nothing more than some cosmetic improvements have been done. I'm
currently workin for an UK client on some VAT improvement in
order manager UI (dealing with gross prices, not VAT excluded prices shown to
users). Most of the job is done but I'm not sure I
will be able to contribute it back to OFBiz because there is a lot of
intricated customisations. Also it's only a part of the
problem, but the main part I guess. Anyway I have not enough time yet to
contribute it (the client is OK) and if I do I will have to
generalise it (of course some will prefer to see VAT excluded prices as it is
now). This is something we need in Europe (at least)
but nobody seems ready to pay the price yet : it's a large and risky
development.

A few months ago there was a discussion about the state of VAT support in
OfBiz, and as I recall there was a little work to be done. Has that work
been done?
I ask because we have the opportunity to use OfBiz for a UK business, and
obviously VAT is important. OfBiz would seem to be a very good fit to what is
needed, and would cut development time considerably so we would like to use
it if we can.
