Yes, sure I agree.  I only suggested the method above because Dieter=20
vaguely suggested that this might be 10 times easier to code than just=20
having a tax override at the bottom of the invoice.  However, I agree=20
that "all" I need is the ability to override any given invoice and=20
manually tap out the tax line (as per the Transaction page).

Typical scenarios that crop up for me (just FYI), are

- Vendors who charge VAT on the items, but forget to charge it on the=20
shipping amount (which is incorrect in the UK IMHO)
- I have an online shopping cart which takes sales and payments and=20
regularly is =A30.01p different from the way SL calculates VAT
- Second hand sales and other margin sales where the VAT is calculated=20
on the profit margin rather than the gross total
- Shipping "out of state", or "out of state" customers who collect=20
(means in and out of the EU for me)

I guess this probably summarises most other peoples needs.

Yes, sure this is a wish list without any code, but it's a starting point=
