    this problem is so gloriously Japanese it hurts.

    we want to set sales tax to 0%

    sorry, can’t do it.

    why not?

    software was never designed to have a 0% tax and it will make every cash register turn inside out.

    but we want it to be 0%

    then put in a RFC and we’ll take a look once we have some free cycles
