[Koha-devel] VAT/GST rewrite

[Francois Charbonnier]

Hello Jonathan, hello all,

Thank you for the RFC. I haven't checked the values but the calculations 
look good to me!

I would like to point out that we have, here in Canada, libraries who 
manage shipment cost before taxes. So, when they enter the shipment cost 
(tax excluded), the invoice total is wrong since this cost is added to 
the total which includes taxes.

Recently, inLibro submitted a patch waiting for signoff to fix this 
issue (http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11062). 
This patch allows librarians to set up new values on the vendor page. 
They define if shipment costs are tax included or excluded and what the 
default tax rate is for the shipment cost. It updates the invoice total 
calculation as well.

In the end, the invoice still shows the total tax included but this 
patch allows librarians to enter the shipment value before taxes and 
calculate the shipment cost including taxes before adding it to the 
invoice total.

To all, are Canadian libraries the only one having this issue? Any 
thoughts on the way to fix it? Has what I have suggested look good to you?

Jonathan, is it possible to add this feature in your development (and 
avoid conflicts withs our patch in the future)? I'm ready to update the 
RFC, answer your questions and, ultimately, test your development! ;^)

I'm waiting for your go to update the wiki page.

Thanks!

François
