As of 1.1, you have to associate tax rates with customers.

1.2 provides the ability to write modular tax rules in Perl (one of
our core team has to deal with the tax complexities that make anything
in the US look simple :-).

Can you tell me where to go within the LSMB code to look at this?

Okay...

What if tax needs to be applied on a case-by-case basis?  If you've ever
dealt with the New York State tax code, you'll understand that I can't
just apply a flat percentage.  It's all very much dependent on the
location within the state and the item(s) ordered as to what percentage
will apply per line item.

Tax is charged if the part/service/assembly is flagged as taxable for
a specific tax and the customer is flagged as taxable for that same
tax.

It's almost mandatory that the client be able to edit the tax directly. Can you think of no way to accomplish this?

Is there any way to adjust the tax manually when creating the order?

You would have to create different customer records for the different levels.

Uh huh... Well, I'm sure we can figure out a potential solution here that doesn't involve creating multiple customer records per customer to accomplish putting the right tax on each product (and I have 9000 products to deal with).
