Shipping amounts are VAT splitted since OFBIZ-4160, ie VAT is also on shipping costs at the same rate as that applicable to products sold.

But there are a large variety of laws depending on cases and countries. OFBIZ-10677 has been opened for that.

France requirements (from misc. articles in French)

If you re-invoice the carrier's costs to the nearest euro and the carrier has not charged you VAT, you can not charge VAT on the transport.

If you invoice a package, since you invoice the customer in advance and the amount of delivery charges depending on the weight is unknown to you in advance, you must apply VAT on this package.

For sales under "departure" conditions (B2B), transport services are invoiced separately. The VAT on shipping costs is 20%.
