[GNC-dev] [GNC] UK VAT and "Making Tax Digital"

Any final views on enabling CSV export of subtotals and VAT report? 3.6
will be in preparation soon...

The VAT report is rather UK-specific regarding EC sales and I don't know
rules for other EC countries. It'll be a shame to limit it to UK only,
which means any other EC VAT report will need to duplicate and amend the
report.

And while the selection of Sales/Purchases/VAT accounts is IMHO
satisfactory, the tagging of EC accounts via account-description is rather
hackish, but possibly the easiest one available so far, unless we reuse the
Tax-Info dialog.

Unless the above questions are not finalised I wouldn't think it's
appropriate to merge VAT-report.
