5 years ago - Although I have used UK in the name the actual code is still a generic VAT system. However I completely get it that people will think it is only for the UK and with BREXIT it is a problem. People will only think it works for the UK. I dont know if I need to recode anything of the the top of my head but I am just about to finish this section off. I will see if i can rename/fix it before the next release (3.1.0).
- Sales Tax (US): Again you are spot on with this. I am not from the US but from what I understand they have a 3 tier sales tax system: federal, state, county and these should be charged at the deleivery address and not the location of the business. I was only going to add this if it was requested (it has now :) ) - I cannot add this until after 3.1.0 because of the amount of database changes I have already done. However new version releases will no longer be 18 months apart
- Sales Tax (Canada): I dont know how this works in canada, is it the same?
What TAX system did you need?

Hi,
had a short look at this project to get an idea about it.
Few weeks ago you changed system language files. I think there is at least one issue when you want the system to be used in other countries than UK:
/ Company Tax Systems/ _gettext("None"); _gettext("VAT Standard accounting (UK)"); _gettext("VAT Flat rate (UK)"); _gettext("VAT Cash accounting (UK)"); _gettext("Sales Tax");
I fear as long as implementation is UK oriented you have to re-write it in a few weeks to work correct even in UK (BREXIT).
Some kind of simple booking or (better) double booking with definable accounts and tax rules might be a better way to implement it now instead of having to fix it later.
Most fun will arise when user is i.e. in Canada or U.S.A.. AFAIK they have up to three different taxes to be applied to one product ...
