Is there global exemption for cutomer ?
In Poland we have sometimes exemption per product per person type (e.g.
accomodation costs for persons are tax free)
But we handle this usually as separate product. (we have product
accomodation 0% and accomodation 22%)
Maybe we can do this more gently. Any ideas ?
I have consulted with accountant yesterday. In fact algorithm is some more
complicated.
There is need for spedition documents for EU to have vat 0% so it can be
sometimes thet there will be not vat0% or it will be not vat 0% at the
beginning and later it will be corrected to 0% as documents will arrive.
Same can be with World salles.
To make things more complicated VAT report will have to be corrected too.
In current software this is done usually manually.

yes for germany
if buyer is form World and is company
take vat%=0
if buyer is from World and is person
take vat%=0
both wrong for germany: take product category vat%
(there may be exemptions to that, depending on Customs Auth. maybe we get
this
more configurable somehow)

Yes, but it's true that in some countries (like France) if you sell to
public (B2C vs B2B) you must show your prices with VAT included (actually
with all taxes included). So in some cases it's a must have...
I'll think: make the product store flag what it sounds like: 'show products
with vat in that ecommerce store' not more, not less (even, don't remove it,
it's needed if you run 2 sites, one B2B one B2C)
