Glad you asked Doctor. I would imagine he would not "just add the sales tax to the customer" because it won't always work. You see sales tax is based upon ship to address, but SQL-Ledger only maintains tax information at the bill to level. So anyone who normally gets taxed, and who drop ships out of state gets erroneously taxed by the system. The reverse happens too - an out of state customer purchases something in state and is therefore subject to tax; however, SQL-Ledger won't tax him. The only way to rectify the situation is to create multiple customers for each tax scenario - that, though, makes statementing a total mess.
SQL-Ledger's tax logic has been my biggest pet peeve since we started using the application. It needs a total overhaul! LedgerSMB team, if you're listening fix it!
