So GST sounds basically identical to what's just called "sales tax" in
the US.  It might make sense to have a "taxable purchase" accelerator
of some kind that will add a split for a preference-settable tax rate
and a preference-settable tax account on the transaction; you enter
the total purchase amount (price + GST) and it computes the GST; there
should probably be a settable rate field, with the default being the
preference value.
