Thanks for all your replies. If just the people who have replied in the last 12 hours is any indication, then a lot of people are "living with" a fairly annoying bug. In my case, this is on an invoice I'm generating, not a bill, so I don't feel like I can mess with the data too much. Fortunately

There is no solution to this. Among other things, it would be dependent on the rules of the jurisdiction whether the tax is supposed to be figured per item or on the total of all taxable items. So what would fix it in one case would break it in the other. It simply is true that rounded(a) + rou
