Hey Jacques, To be honest the person I was talking about this requirement for would have been more of an expert than me so I took him at his word that it existed. I did a quick google and came up with a reference for support for this feature in ZOHO (http://blogs.zoho.com/general/support-for-stacked-or-compound-taxes-in-invoices) -- interesting enough the example they site is in my own Canada -- in some provinces. In Canada we have two taxes in most provinces. A Goods and Services tax (5% where I am) and a Provincial tax (8% where I am). So if I were to set these up in Ofbiz I would setup two tax authorities (a federal and a provincial) with appropriate Geo and the TaxAuthorityRateProduct for the two rates. Anyway, apparently in some provinces (Quebec is the one they site) it is a compound tax where ... GST = Total * GST_RATE and PST = (TOTAL + GST) * PST_RATE. Apparently Quebec has 7% PST which (again) is news to me. In Ontario (where I am) I do not believe our PST is a compound tax rate ... In my head I also figured that there may be places that have "bad stuff" taxes like Cigarette or Gas taxes that are VAT taxes but they also may have a standard sales tax that would apply as a compound/tax-on-tax tax. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/about-tax-related-tp1754412p1755781.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
