NEED taxes on taxes here

[Andre F. M. <and...@te...>]

Hello, Dieter:
I just had send out messages to many brazilian linux lists asking for=20
accountant help and found your message below.

Here, in Brazil, we have a real  tax hell.
We have TAXES ON TAXES at different points of price setup process,=20
feeding multiple taxes accounts to balance at month end.

I am not an accountant, so I can not explain right this complex subject.=
=20
But in order to other people help to customize tables, sql-ledger will=20
have to allow multiple taxes on taxes, included and on top, at different=
=20
points of price.

Two significant taxes here: IPI is "on top", aaaaaaannnnnd ICMS "is=20
included".
And they are only two of many, many other taxes, some included, other on=
=20
top of others!
Cascading taxes!!!=20
And these taxes depends on WHAT product or service is to be invoiced.

Please, are there other brazilian people in this list?
Any accountant to help?
Many thanks.
Andre Felipe Machado
