The total is actually $270.165, and gets rounded up to $270.17 -- you will prbably see the same thing on totals that have an exact 1/2 cent hidden in them.There are tax/legal implications regarding subtle differences in the way tax is calculated, and how your particular government wants them computed. For instance, you could calculate tax on each lineitem separately, then add them up, or you could tax only the subtotal.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
