Many thanks for the answer. However, that would be quite close, but if I am right in this 
way we lose the information that will allow to print, at the bottom of invoice, something like
===
tax A 10% amountA
tax B 20% amountB
===

I'm struggling to find a way to accomplish this result... or to explain myself, I fear. Another 
way to put it is that two different taxes are involved, and one of the two is applied to the 
result of the other taxation, and in the invoice both should be stated in different lines. To be 
honest, it seems a quite involved process, but I'm not in charge to decide how taxes are 
applied :)
