I have taken an xml based gnucash file with tax codes assigned to
accounts and saved it to a sqlite3 database file, closed gnucash and
re-opened the sqlite3 database file and all the tax code assignments
seem to be preserved properly and the Tax Report is exactly as it was
in the xml version. So this indicates that the tax attributes are
being saved. I will annotate the bug accordingly.
