Automatically split transactions with sales tax or VAT (Value added tax) when a transaction is booked to an sales or value-added-tax related account

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

Maybe it would be nice to include such a script in the contrib directory of 
the source. I'm sure other users may be interested in such an example. 
Perhaps even a small wiki page to explain how it works could serve as a mini 
howto on QIF.

Just a suggestion.

Regards,

Geert
