While pyvat is convenient, it turns out that there are multiple problems with it:

it doesn't get released quickly enough when tax rates change (and they did change during the pandemic a few times);
it only supports rates for countries that are EU members, which is a problem because there are a few countries that work the same way in terms of VAT, but aren't (e.g. Monaco, or possible change of VAT for UK in case of large enough taxable revenue).

It'd be very convenient to have a UI for changing and viewing the rates, that'd remove the chore of hardcoding and maintaining them.

The VAT logic can be copied from pyvat, but the rates must be loaded from the DB.
