How to print VAT rates on the invoices

[William Anderle]

Hi Mike,
thanks for the prompt reply.

The code in my invoice.scm, easy-invoice.scm, fancy invoice.scm is 
slightly different than yours:

     (if (tax-col column-vector)
     (addto! row-contents
         (if (if invoice?
             (and (gncEntryGetInvTaxable entry)
                  (gncEntryGetInvTaxTable entry))
             (and (gncEntryGetBillTaxable entry)
                  (gncEntryGetBillTaxTable entry)))
             ;; Translators: This "T" is displayed in the taxable 
column, if this entry contains tax
             ;;(_ "T") "")))
             (_ (gncTaxTableGetName (gncEntryGetInvTaxTable entry))) "")))

Biggest difference is that (3rd line) I have "if invoice?", while you 
"if cust-doc?".
Said this, I replaced in all of the three files the above code with the 
below one:

     (if (tax-col column-vector)
     (addto! row-contents
         (if invoice?
             (gncTaxTableGetName (gncEntryGetInvTaxTable entry))
             (gncTaxTableGetName (gncEntryGetBillTaxTable entry))
         )
         ))

My early report is the following:
-Now both Invoices and Bills shows the VAT Rate;
-There is a little eye-candy bug, which I try to explain with the 
following to images.

Now, the Tax Rate column (in my language, named "Imponibile") is shown 
like this:

It would be good to format the Tax Rate column like all the others, by 
putting the text on the right;
moreover, if possible it would be nice to add the kind of VAT rate next 
to it (in my case, the % symbol), like shown in the image below.

I'll have to use GnuCash for a while,
I'll report you if I discover additional problems about this piece of code.

Best regards
