Case contract

x = {'mode': 'inclusive'|'exclusive', 'rounding': 'line'|'invoice', 'lines': [[amount, rate_bp, account]]}. Exclusive: tax = amount*bp/10000. Inclusive: tax = amount*bp/(10000+bp). Rounding is half-up to the cent, per line ('line', summed per rate) or once per rate on the summed amounts ('invoice'). Tax is keyed by str(rate_bp). Inclusive: receivable = sum amounts, net = receivable - total tax. Exclusive: net = sum amounts, receivable = net + total tax. Return {'receivable', 'net', 'tax'}.

Why this case matters

Ledger software must keep debits equal to credits and apply normal-balance, period and cutoff rules exactly; small sign or boundary slips silently misstate financial statements.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: inclusive line divisor	`{"net": 3746, "receivable": 4027, "tax": {"0": 0, "2100": 210, "500": 1, "700": 70}}`	`{"net": 3788, "receivable": 4027, "tax": {"0": 0, "2100": 173, "500": 1, "700": 65}}`	Failed
