Summary	0001058: delivery-costs VAT when ordering books
Description	Many articles have a reduced VAT in some countries, for example books in Germany only have 7% VAT instead of 19% - open the ee-demo-shop admin - edit article Buch VATER & SOHN Art.Nr.: 2196 - set vat for that article to 7% - go to frontend - order that article -> the shipping-costs will have a VAT of 7%, which is wrong. There is of course a well defined VAT percent for shipping-costs, which in Germany is 19%. oxbasket.php: $fDelVATPercent = $this->getMostUsedVatPercent(); // <----- :-(

There is of course a well defined VAT percent for shipping-costs, which in Germany is 19%. This is not true. German legal says: Shipping-, payment- and wrapping costs will get the tax from "what is more in the cart". BTW, they forgot to define the "what is more" (wheight, price, size ...) so we decided to set the net price as a basis. Examples: a) Buy a book with a tax of 7% -> checkout -> shipping will be taxed with 7% as well. b) Buy a CD with a tax of 19% -> checkout -> shipping will be taxed with 19%. c) Buy books with a value of 20 EUR, taxed with 7% and CDs in a value of 20 EUR, taxed with 19% -> tax for shipping will go at 7% (because the net price of the books < the net price of the CDs) d) Buy books with a value of 10 EUR taxed with 7% and CDs in a value of 20 EUR taxed with 19% -> tax for shipping will go at 19% because of the higher net price of the CDs. Sounds strange, doesn't it? But seems to be like this ;) I love German law for this stuff... If unsure, ask Ralf.
