isVat = true merchant has no VAT reported for programmatic SDK orders

Is there a flag of some kind that needs to be set on a programmatic order for VAT to be correctly summarized on this screen?

Here I have sold 4 identical items each in their own order @ €6.49, where isVat = true and a default Irish tax rate of 23% has been applied. 1 item was sold through the Register and correctly displays the VAT for that order. The other 3 were created programmatically using similar to the doc

OrderConnector#createOrder(new Order())
OrderConnector#addFixedPriceLineItem(order.getId(), item.getId(), null, null);
And then the order was paid for via ACTION_SECURE_PAY

All 4 receipts have correct amounts and show the VAT:

Transactions -> Payments also show no VAT for the 3 programmatic transactions.

Any ideas on this? We have a pretty cranky merchant and I'm not sure if this is my fault or not. Will I create an MVP sample?

I believe I've worked out the answer to this. For some reason we need to specify the taxable amount for ACTION_SECURE_PAY even though the receiving activity should be doing that itself. I believe this is a bug.

OrderCalc calc = new OrderCalc(order);
long taxAmount = calc.getTax();
intent.putExtra(Intents.EXTRA_TAX_AMOUNT, taxAmount);

So we use the OrderCalc class (I wish I knew about this class 5 years ago ^_^) to get the tax amount and by specifying it, it appears in the reporting. I don't think the `isVat` property is actually relevant here.

I am glad you figured it out, and I appreciate you posting here so that this may help others in the future. This isn't really my area so I am hoping @Jeffrey Blattman can take a look and determine if this is something that we need to write-up.
