As others have already pointed out, there is no requirement that this be 
from within the bookkeeping program.

At the same time, I do understand why you would think that ability 
useful to you (and I agree, it would be). But do you understand, when 
you are asking "is it in the development pipeline" what you are REALLY 
asking? That gnucash have this capability for eery jurisdiction on the 
planet. I mean, why should YOURS have some special place in the line.

Commercial "combined packages" << general ledger, POS, tax 
reporting/filing, inventory, payroll, etc. >> are usually written to 
compete in the market of those satisfying the requirements of some 
specific jurisdiction or rang of jurisdictions. For example, look at the 
packages sold here in the US. Do you see them even dealing with VAT let 
alone being to report it as required?
