So I am starting work on this while waiting for the file attachment
side to be discussed a bit more.

What I think I am going to do is provide a JS button for the
calculation.  Additional field will be taxable amount, and this will
be prepopulated with the taxable amount.  The rate will be
prepopulated with the tax rate set up.  One can then change either,
click "calculate" and let it calculate.
