Hello Paul, Just a first reaction.
As said i use version ofbiz 11.04.1 but also in the former versions , there is the following problem related to VAT problem: If you make a product member of more than one category , for example two categories, it will calculate tax or VAT two times for the product in place of one time. Because the tax is calculated for each category from which it is member from. So that is also something which needs to be solved. By the way: what stands the abreviation "GST" for?
