What I have in mind in particular is adding a calculated tax column for 
each line of the invoice (instead of calculating it each time).  This 
seems to be a sensible addition anyway so that old invoices don't change 
if you change the tax rate...

In particular I want to have a tick box on each line (as per the 
Transaction screen) where you can override the calculated tax and change 
it per row. 

The point is sometimes each line can be a penny out if the supplier 
calculates it a funny way.  Othertimes you want the ability to override 
the whole invoice to make it non-vatable because the shipment is going 
overseas.  Second hand sales (and car sales and other margin sales) also 
need to have funny amounts of VAT charged which are based on the profit 
margin rather than the entire cost.

I'm sure that there are otherways to skin this cat.  Thoughts invited...

Cheers
