It is very much a nasty practice, but it does seem like there are
countries that practice it: a regional tax on top of a national or
federal tax. As long as all products would require both national and
federal tax, I think we're OK - we can just put in a regional tax at
a higher rate. If we run into a situation where some products are
charged a federal tax and some not, all are charged a regional tax,
and the regional tax is a tax-on-tax, then we'd need to model the tax-
on-tax. :)

1. Does OFBiz support tax on tax? I just wanted to confirm that

then adds them to the list of adjustments.
Yeah, that sounds right. In other words: no, there is not support
right now for charging tax on tax.
Is this a requirement you've run into somewhere? Sounds a bit
nasty... from a business perspective and a technical perspective. ;)

In France a such thing existed. It's called CSG (Contribution
Sociale Généralisée or in english something like Social Generalized
Contribution). Actually only a part of CSG was really tax on
tax.This normally has been corrected but I'm not totaly sure... I can
see many other cases where such thing actually exists, they are
peculiar cases but they exist. It seems also that at least it exists
in Canada.
That does not mean that I need it...
