Tax Classes for different countries

Hi guys,

Im located in Australia and Im developing a customer invoice / biling script.

Can anyone tell me what the tax classes are for the coutries below?

Australia = GST
USA =
UK =
EU =

Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

in Europe are different classes for different countries

In fact in each country of Europe there may be more than one tax classes. For instance in Greece we have 0%, 9% and 19% depending on the location and the type of product.

yep in the Netherlands it's 0, 6 en 19%

Looks like a lot of work for Adam.... :)

there are service websites which makes currency conversions too, check this blog post:

(this one is not very cheap)

Thanks for the response guys :)

I was going to store 'tax class name' & 'tax rate' into a DB for use with the creation of an invoice for a customer. But if there are differnet rates and class names.....

I guess I am better off letting the user input the tax rate and class name at the time of invoice creation.

thats easy but not secure :

check also if the custumer need to pay that taxes, If I buy a product from companies in other countries I don't need to pay them

What isnt secure about storing tax data in a DB?

its not the storage, but if the customer is able to enter the tax rate you need to check that number
