Yes, that as well, but it will require more complexity in the tax
calculations. Some transaction taxes are hard to work out in reverse...

Unless we just say screw all taxes that aren't flat rates, specified by a
percentage. That'll mean we can't automatically handle stuff like stamp
duty on stock transfers, but arguably it's not worth the bother.
