Just a thought,

Can you do this manually? 
PITA I know, but you can put in a negative line on an invoice - 

so you get something like:
widgets sold	qty:1 unit:$100 tot:$100 taxable:X tax:$16
withheld tax	qty:1 unit $(-0.1*taxable total)  tot:-$10  taxable:_ tax:0.00

just a random cent or two.

HTH,
Maf.
