Value of Tax Rate - Reference - Readme

[ankur-katiyar]

I tried running the example on Python 3.12 and getting the following result for TAX-RATE.

TAX-RATE: -13.52

Even though, the value should have been -134.52 as the value of line is:

line = " -13452987654"

Can you share a snippet to reproduce the error?

its the same example as README.md
