2) implement automatic tax calculation for purchase orders
With sales tax in the USA the selling party is responsible for collecting tax on behalf of the government (city, county, state, or federal). Is that also the case with VAT? My guess is that it is, but I'm not sure.
The reason I'm thinking about this is there is a reason we don't calculate tax for purchase orders: it is the responsibility of the vendor to calculate that tax and tell the purchaser what the tax liabilities are.
