Tax Calculation Based on Subtotal Instead of Each Item

At first, I thought I have found a rounding error in the tax calculation by pure chance. The currency used is EUR and the tax rate used is 19% (for Germany). You can try out the following numbers:

Product 1: 7.56 € unit cost, 10 quantity
Product 2: 7.56 € unit cost, 8 quantity
Subtotal: 136.08 €
Tax (19%): 25.85 €

That seemed off because I expected the tax to be 25.86 €. But then I noticed that the calculation is “correct” if I don’t have multiple products. See:

Product 1: 7.56 € unit cost, 18 quantity
Subtotal: 136.08 €
Tax (19%): 25.86 €

Basically, the subtotal is the same, but the tax is different. Now, I believe this is working as intended because the tax is probably calculated per item and not based on the subtotal. Is this true? Can this be changed somehow?

HI,

That’s correct, the tax is calculated per line item.
