How do you handle vat adjustments when issuing subscription refunds?

Had to refund a French customer 50% of their annual plan. Accounting demanded we reclaim VAT but our system couldn’t prorate tax amounts. Web2wave’s refund API automatically adjusts tax records based on partial refund rules in each country. Anyone else dealing with this VAT reconciliation nightmare?
