This module allows fixed-amount taxes to have their amount expressed in a specific currency instead of the document currency.
When a currency is set on the tax, the fixed amount is automatically converted to the document currency at invoice time using the appropriate exchange rate.
Three conversion scenarios are supported:
The conversion rate is determined at the invoice date, not the current date, ensuring accurate historical conversions.
This module is compatible with account_tax_fixed_amount_multiplier without depending on it. When both modules are installed, multiplier modes such as product quantity or product weight adjust the fixed-tax quantity first, and this module converts the resulting fixed amount to the document currency.
Important
This is an alpha version, the data model and design can change at any time without warning. Only for development or testing purpose, do not use in production. More details on development status

To configure this module, you need to:
Once configured, the tax behaves like a standard fixed tax but with automatic currency conversion. When creating an invoice in a foreign currency, the tax amount will be converted from the tax’s currency to the document’s currency.
For example, if a tax is configured with a fixed amount of CHF 10 and the invoice is in EUR, the tax amount will be converted from CHF to EUR using the exchange rate at the invoice date.
If account_tax_fixed_amount_multiplier is also installed, configure the multiplier on the tax as usual. The multiplier is applied before conversion, so a tax defined in CHF per product unit or kilogram is first multiplied by the relevant quantity, then converted to the invoice currency.
