I don't think there is a report that currently does this.

The current report engine is not very flexible (from an ordinary user's point 
of view). For the report you are looking for, you will have to create a 
completely new report. You will have to know the Scheme programming language 
for that (or learn it). If you are interested in doing this, you probably 
should ask your question again on the -devel list.

As you, I'm living in Belgium and use Gnucash for my day to day accounting. 
But I'm not using Gnucash for all of it as it's not really adapted to the 
Belgian (or even European) fiscal law.

I am curious though to learn how you are using Gnucash. For example do you 
print invoices directly from Gnucash ? Where do you store your customer's (and 
vendor's) VAT numbers ? Things like that.
