-----------------------------------

             Summary: VAT tax are not recorded as separate line items in 
Invoice for products with VAT tax included in their price
                 Key: OFBIZ-7012
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7012
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: accounting, order
            Reporter: Divesh Dutta
            Assignee: Divesh Dutta


In countries like UK VAT system works. So in VAT system, VAT taxes are included 
in product's price. So OFBiz have support of VAT tax where you can include VAT 
in product's price itself. Here is the example data we create to enable VAT 
calculations:

<Party partyId="GB_TA" partyTypeId="PARTY_GROUP" statusId="PARTY_ENABLED"/>
 
<PartyGroup partyId="GB_TA" groupName="Great Britain Tax Authority"/>
 
<PartyRole partyId="GB_TA" roleTypeId="TAX_AUTHORITY"/>
 
<TaxAuthority taxIdFormatPattern="\d{2}\-\d{7}|\d{3}\-\d{2}\-\d{4}" 
taxAuthGeoId="GBR" taxAuthPartyId="GB_TA"/>
 
<TaxAuthorityRateProduct taxAuthorityRateSeqId="6002" description="Standard 
E-Commerce Great Britain Tax Rate" fromDate="2016-01-01 00:00:00.0" 
productStoreId="9000" taxAuthGeoId="GBR" taxAuthPartyId="GB_TA" 
taxAuthorityRateTypeId="VAT_TAX" taxPercentage="20.00" />

<ProductPrice currencyUomId="GBP" fromDate="2012-07-03 
00:00:00.0"price="139.000" productId="GZ-2644" productPricePurposeId="PURCHASE" 
productPriceTypeId="DEFAULT_PRICE" productStoreGroupId="_NA_" 
taxAuthGeoId="GBR" taxAuthPartyId="GB_TA" taxInPrice="Y" />

When invoices are created, tax amount included in product's price is not 
separated in new invoice line item. And when general ledger postings are done, 
then tax amount is not posted in Liability account. So due to this 
organizations have no way to figure out how much tax is to be paid to tax 
authority. 

Ideally, product's actual price (without VAT) should be recorded in revenue 
account and tax should be recorded in liability account. 

For doing this, when invoice is created, VAT amount should be separated and 
created as new line item.
