Benjamin Jugl commented on OFBIZ-10679:
---------------------------------------
My ticket at that time included a way to deal with the taxes on shipping costs.
The shipping costs for an item are based on the taxes that apply to the item.
So if there is an item with 9% tax, the same percentage is applied to the
shipping costs. This has already been implemented. But for the case that
several items are shipped with mixed tax rates, I have only introduced the
apparently most common method for the time being, namely calculating the
shipping tax weighted by price and tax rate of each item. But the calculation
of the tax on shipping costs is not uniform in all countries, states and even
companies. Some companies simplify the procedure and simply apply the highest
rate of the items shipped to the shipping costs. Some countries apply a fixed
rate to the shipping costs. Others do not tax them at all. It should be
configurable, depending on the ProductStore and tax authority, how shipping tax
is handled.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10679
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: framework
> Affects Versions: Trunk
> Reporter: Benjamin Jugl
> Priority: Minor
>
> As mentioned in [#OFBIZ-4160] there are different ways to approach
> tax-calculation on shipping-costs.
> While some countries (like the Netherlands) have a fixed price for this,
> others calculate the delivery just like the delivered good (or a weighted
> version, if multiple taxrates are applied to the shipping).
> As I stated:
> {quote}[..]it is advisable to introduce a new ProductCategory "TAX_SHIPPING".
> This could be administered through TAX_AUTHORITY_RATE_PRODUCT for individual
> tax authorities. Then there could be a condition before my newly implemented
> logic, to use this tax rate, if it is found, and if it is not, my logic is
> executed.
