I am assuming this is a local tax law issue.  There are screwy local
tax rules out there.  For example, in some (Canadian) jurisdictions,
whether some items are taxable depends on what else you buy....  In
some European jurisdictions, invoices must be tracked per
government-issued form they are printed on....

I have stopped expecting tax law to be logical or sane.

The main thing is we need to know exactly what the requirements are
before providing some suggestions about how to make it work....
