Jonathan Castillo (jcs) caefd3ae70 [IMP] contributing: modify titles and headings guidelines
The previous guidelines for titles and headings included an exception to
capitalize feature names as they are written in the apps. However, this
exception seems to have confused most writers as it isn't always clear
what should be considered as a feature name or what should be considered
as a noun or noun group. This commit removes this exception to make the
writing and reviewing processes easier while retaining good titles and
improving consistency across the documentation. It also changes the
titles of the Accounting section to provide a better example to other
writers.

EU intra-community distance selling
===================================
**Distance sales within the European Union** include cross-border sales of goods and services to a
private consumer (B2C) in another EU Member State when the seller doesn't meet face-to-face with the
customer. Organizations must ensure that the VAT on distance sales is paid to the Member State in
which the goods or services are delivered.
.. note::
This remains true even if your organization is located outside of the European Union.
While this regulation mainly applies to :doc:`eCommerce <../../../../websites/ecommerce>` sales to
private EU consumers, it is also valid for mail order sales and telesales.
The Union **One-Stop Shop (OSS)** is an online portal where businesses can register for the OSS and
declare their intra-community distance sales. Each EU member state integrates an online OSS portal.
The **EU intra-community Distance Selling** feature helps your organization comply with this
regulation by creating and configuring new :doc:`fiscal positions <fiscal_positions>` and
:doc:`taxes <taxes>` based on your company's country.

Please :ref:`upgrade the module <general/upgrade>` `l10n_eu_service` if you already installed it
before **July 1, 2021**, or if you activated the feature **EU Digital Goods VAT** in the

Fiscal Positions and Taxes
==========================
Once enabled, the feature automatically creates all the necessary taxes and fiscal positions needed
for each EU member state, based on your company's country.
We highly recommend checking that the proposed mapping is suitable for the products and services you
sell before using it.
