I can see that I asked this question over 10 years ago with no replies. Has anything changed in iDempiere since then to be able handle this kind of complicated taxing? I created a solution in ADempiere that kind of works but it doesn't feel great. When selling used products I add a second line where I put the revenue. Then in reports like the invoice I merge these two lines into one. But it gets kind of complicated when creating sales reports etc.

Has anyone tried to handle "margin scheme" in iDempiere? 

Margin scheme is used within EU (and probably other countries to) when you deal with second-hand goods. The point is that you only pay tax for the part that is revenue to avoid double taxation. 

An example: 

I buy something for 900 € from a private person (not a legal entity / corporation)
I sell it for 1000 € (to a private person). 

The tax is then calculated on the revenue 1000 - 900 € = 100 € which I report to the government. 

I haven't been able to find an easy way to handle this in iDempiere.

First I thought of setting a specific tax category on the product with zero percent tax. Then use a model validator for MInvoice where taxlines was added. But I think that the revenue will be wrong then so I guess I'd have to add lines to accounting to. Since the revenue should be 100 € minus the tax. 

Second thought was to use a charge. Still zero percent tax on the product then use a model validator on MOrder or MInvoice and add the tax to be paid as a new line with a charge. 

Anyone has any thoughts on this issue? 

Best regards
