No. Cumulative taxes are for places which require that you tax other taxes. For example in Quebec, GST is subject to taxation under PST. We do have a modular sales tax system designed to support arbitrary rules but without knowing exactly what you are trying to do and how we have to tie it into the invoice, I am wondering whether it is the right tool for the job (as opposed to, say, a quarterly GL entry to add the tax entries). I guess the question is: do you need to track per invoice? What do you do when you hit 20k? Add an adjustment entry to bring the rate up to 5% retrospective? And I take it this is included in the price, correct?
