           Summary: New Sys Pref - Turn of GIST Display

          Platform: PC

When the 'gist' setting is set to 0 some US libraries assume that  the GST line
on the basket should not display.  The answer to this may be another system
preference so that libraries can turn this line off completely.

Per a chat:

<nengard> paul do you know the answer to this one?  sys pref gist is set to 0 -
shouldn't this make the GST line on basket.pl go away?
 <paul> iirc, it's the taxes rate.
 <paul> 5.5% in France for example.
 <paul> (0.055)
 <atz> it should display, as zero, imho
 <nengard> atz - but if you don't have gist then why have it there at all?
 <atz> so you know you don't have any.
 <nengard> hehe
 <atz> it will vary by vendor, btw.
 <nengard> not if the library is a non-profit
 <nengard> there is no tax
 <nengard> like the library who asked the question
 <atz> foreign purchases
 <atz> ?
 <nengard> they don't make any
 <nengard> it's a US public library
 <nengard> not an academic library - who are more likely to make foreign
purchases
 <ryan> in dev_week, gst is hidden if set to zero
 <nengard> it jsut seems that if you disable it it shouldn't show up
 <nengard> ryan - what does that mean?
 <nengard> it should be hidden?
 <nengard> or it was at some time?
 <ryan> both :)
 <nengard> so it's a bug that it's showing up again ?? 
 <atz> no
 <nengard> k
 <atz> dev_week is a branch version of koha
 <nengard> oh
 <ryan> perhaps we need an extra syspref
 <ryan> but nobody here in the us wants that line to show up afaict
 <nengard> okay - so enhancement request?
 <ryan> yeah, i guess so.
 <nengard> k
 <nengard> just trying to go through all my notes and clear up some unfinished
items - and unanswered questions
 <ryan> i see atz's point that it should show zero if you _might_ have gst but
don't
 <nengard> i understand too
