In my opinion, the first one (12.3) is the correct 'mathematical rounding' (to 1 decimal here). However, some colleagues say the second one is correct.

Wow, many arguments for something so simple :)
The rule in plain word is simply "round up if the remainder is greater or egal to the half of the last significant unit"
Is 0.045 greater or egal to 0.05? No, so the correct answer is 12.3.
You are correct :)
