[item-price] is returned as a string. You need to specify [item-price noformat=1] to get a number.

"price" is the default field for the [item-price]. If you want to change it, use PriceField in catalog.cfg.

If you use the "noformat=1" your problem should be solved and you dont need to mess with CommonAdjust to calculate
your VAT.
