Multiple tax rates

[ezvirtual]

This is a user story for a feature/enhancement request from one of the b.p.shop merchants we work with.

As a merchant I want to allow for different tax rates within the one shop/site for existing/repeat customers.

They indicated that their preferred solution would be the separate tax rates to be group based and work in a similar way to discounting.

Example use case:
Their customers consist of an established network of dealers and they want to be able to base the differential tax treatment on the geographical location of these dealers:

• Group 1 – UK resident dealers: always attract 20% local VAT
• Group 2 – EU resident dealers who have provided their VAT equivalent number: always attract 0% VAT
• Group 3 – EU resident dealers who have not given us a number: always attract 20% VAT

Does anyone else have a use case for this feature? Any input/thoughts are appreciated.

We have also had some talk regarding adding support for muli-currency support within the one site, however I suspect that is deserving of a separate issue/discussion.
