I've been unable to use per-transaction tabs located on the last line of a
transaction (e.g." ; :TAG:") as shown in Section 6.7.1 of the Ledger 3.0
manual for processing an automatic query.
By experiment I found that the reason my tag-query was not working was
related to the location of the tag in the relevant transaction postings.
The last-line tag location suggested by the Manual (at Section 6.7.1) did
not work for me. But locating the tag on the same line as the transaction
amount --- as suggested by the Manual for per-transaction notes at Section
6.6 --- DID work.

=============================
The automated query that I am using subtracts the tax at a standard rate
from the total sum of the transaction, adjusting the expense represented by
the anonymous '$account' variable and crediting an account that records the
total amount of tax I've paid in purchases from other suppliers. On some
transactions, tagged "no-vat", however, I did not pay the usual VAT. This
automated query takes care of the distinction.
= ^Expenses:Business and (not %no-vat)
$account -0.090909091
Liabilities: VAT Paid 0.090909091
Best,
Peter
