Had a quick look and I can't seem to find anything related to managing taxes. Even in the `entry_lines` I can't seem to find a way to store tax amounts.

Am I missing something?

Hi, thanks for the comment! Taxes have not been added in yet, but will probably be a percentage value in the accounts object. This will then be used to automatically generate sales tax reports.

Friends/potential customers haven't asked for taxes yet so not all (crucial) features have been added in just yet. That's what this post is here to expose :) Are there any other glaring omissions you see?

I'm sorry if I'm not understanding correctly, but how would setting tax on accounts help?. Taxes may differ depending on the item.

- I would suggest to add support for fixed value taxes along with percentages.

- Items need to have a SKU field of some sort.

Apologies on the delay. My thought was that items with the same tax rates could be grouped together in the same account so the tax rate doesn't need to be passed in when creating every entry. Does that make sense?

Thanks!
