In general, the VAT feature is certainly not a corner case, but selecting multiple transactions at once it is - at least to me. Hence I want to understand your workflow to be able to see if your task can be performed in a different way.

BTW: I use this feature for the very same purpose here, so I understand what you are trying to achieve. You not only need to track expenses, but also income where the same rules apply.

So the question I have is, how did you end up with multiple transactions not having a VAT assignment and how often do you think you need this multiple transaction VAT assignment in the future? How do you enter transactions into KMyMoney?
