Well, really your only option is the tax table name...  Keep in mind
that you can have multiple tax table entries on a single tax table (for
multiple taxes, like GST+PST).  If you want to list the actual
percentages and accounts then you need to extract the list of tax table
entries and then enumerate them..

Personally I'd recommend just using the tax table name.
