Currently, the calculator keeps adding 3% of the value unlimited, but it should be capped at 70 (exkl MWST I think, not sure though)

Hi there, congrats on the calculator it is very useful.
My feature request:
Calculate the taxes for orders coming from the UK

Consider the following example:
Price: 50 CHF
Shipping: 0 CHF
Courier: Post

For this example the calculator displays Your 7.7% VAT is 5.20., even though 7.7% out of 50 is 3.85 CHF. The VAT should be computed based on the product price, not (product price + fees).

From Post FAQ:

VAT: Consignments are exempt from duties if the goods do not exceed the following value (including shipping costs):

• 65 francs at a VAT rate of 7.7%

Similarly, in the example specified in this blog post, the VAT is computed based on value of goods.

This makes a big difference especially for small values, since it makes taxes non-zero for lower values than it actually should.

I think the fix would be to change this line to compute r.vat only based on r.worth, not r.worth + r.duty.

Firstly, thank you for the tool!

Secondly, Swiss Post seems to have changed their custom clearance fees and the way they are calculated. According to this it's now:

• 13 CHF (11.5 if paid online) for EU countries (previously only neighboring countries)
• 16 CHF (14.5 if paid online) for the rest of the world

Also, I cannot seem to find any evidence that these fees are not levied when the VAT is lower than 5 CHF, as the calculator seems to suggest. Do you remember what that part of the calculation was based on? Because I'm not sure if it hasn't changed too.
