This allows one to install different tax modules and then +select which taxes are applied by which programming modules. The sales tax +module has access to everything on the submitted form so it is able to make +complex determinations on what is taxable based on arbitrary criteria. + +The tax rules drop-down box allows one to select any installed tax module +(LedgerSMB 1.2 ships only with the simple module), while the ordering is an +integer which allows one to specify a tax run which occurs on the form after +any rules with lower entries in this box. This allows for compounding of sales tax (for example, when PST applies to the total and GST as well). \subsubsection{Adding A Sales Tax Account} -- cgit v1.2.3
