Actually in 2.6 there *is* an Invoice Importer.  I've never used it, but
my understanding is that it is EXTREMELY particular about the CSV format
that it will accept.  I don't think it is very generic, per se; I think
you need to make sure your CSV matches what the importer expects.

It is possible that it cannot import tax table information.  I honestly
don't know.  I've never actually looked at that code or used it myself.
