> No the price will become 1.05 and when customer buys 2 it will be 2.10 not 2.05

That's quite literaly against the "various rules to try to ensure neither the seller or buyer always benefited" that the previous commenter was talking about writing software to handle.

No country that has cash rounding rules would allow 2*1.03 to be charged $2.10.

(Unless you mean: the price of a single item is changed to $1.05, in which case sure; that's the business's perogative to raise prices but it's not taking advantage of the rounding system)
