Tax object attribute meanings?

[Les Richardson <..hidden..>]

Hi,

The tax 'struct' in the Tax.pm module has several attributes, of which 
most I'm not clear about.

My Musings to date:

1) Tax->pass  - the pass number when doing combined tax calculations on a 
particular good or service. If every tax is '1' then all taxes are side by 
side. If one tax is 1 and others are 2, then the first tax is calculated 
and applied and becomes the new base amount that the pass '2' tax amounts 
are calculated from.


2) Tax Account - the account in the G/L that is used to store this 
particular tax value. Collected and due to be paid to some level of gov't.


3) Rate - the taxation rate; expressed as a decimal number.


4) Tax number - the tax number for the particular business entity 
collecting this particular tax. A gov't value.


5) Chart - no clue.


6) Description - Name of the tax? (ie. Provincial Sales Tax)?


7) Value - current tax value calc'd based on rate(?)


Anyone have any clues to this?
