Maybe, maybe not...
I just noticed the following on an invoice I have to pay:
stuff 30,00
more stuff 30,00
---------
59,99
+ 16,00 % VAT 9,60
---------
69,59
Obviously, some programmer decided on granting me a rebate
of one german Pfennig.
This is from a publishing company, which probably bills tens
of thousands of seperate customers for the entry lines in
trade fair catalogs each year. Guess that programmer will
have to skip a few coffe breaks to make up for the losses
summing up that way...
Have fun!
