As Marco's question hints at, the first number may be interpreted to mean "Total including VAT", and the second "Total excluding VAT".
In this case I would suggest "Header (total including VAT): 140.00 EUR (total excluding VAT): 123.10 (EUR)"
This would make the VAT percentage about 12% by my recloning, which seems a strange number.

Or maybe some kind of intra-group discount applies, but that is really none of your business unless it is explicitly stated.

Note from asker:
Thanks Conor, that's what the MT suggests, but I can't think how it fits with the context, or any other such uses. |
