Since I'm only recently on the LedgerSMB team, I'll have to take your
word for it, but I'd thought the answer would be to create a customer
-- presumably the one in the other country - which doesn't have the
'tax applicable' check marks in the customer screen. I was assuming so
far that that prevented tax from being calculated.

Isn't that the solution? If not, what's the effect of unchecking the
tax account in the customer screen?

Bye,


Erik.
