+=Automatic definition of the VAT rate=
+
+In Dolibarr the VAT rate can always be set to any value of your choice. However, to save you time, Dolibarr try to automatically set the value of VAT or sale tax to a default value that is autodetected according to the information you entered into the Setup of Dolibarr.
+
+By default when creating prospects, invoices, orders etc. the Sales Tax rate that is suggested by default follows is defined like this:
+* If the seller is not subject to Sales tax, then Sales tax defaults to 0. End of rule.
+* If the (seller's country = buyer's country), then the Sales tax by default equals the Sales tax of the product in the seller's country. End of rule.
+* If the seller and buyer are both in the European Community and goods are transport-related products (haulage, shipping, airline), the default VAT is 0. This rule is dependant on the seller's country - please consult with your accountant. The VAT should be paid by the buyer to the customs office in their country and not to the seller. End of rule.
+* If the seller and buyer are both in the European Community and the buyer is not a company (with a registered intra-Community VAT number) then the VAT defaults to the VAT rate of the seller's country. End of rule.
+* If the seller and buyer are both in the European Community and the buyer is a company (with a registered intra-Community VAT number), then the VAT is 0 by default. End of rule.
+* In any other case the proposed default is Sales tax=0. End of rule.
