I am not sure what you want to rename, but if you want to rename the
accounts it is very easy to go to the  accounts window and edit account
names from there or even from an account register press Ctrl-E and
change the account name. 

If you want to change the account assignments to different tax table
lines, that is a little more difficult as you have to do that in the
Edit >Tax Report Options, which is somewhat tedious as you likely
noticed when you set it up in the first place.

Thanks, but I don't want to rename the accounts, and the actual account
assignments are fine.

In the Tax Table, there are two panes. I just want to change the names in
the left pane, but there is no "edit" button to allow me to do this.

To be clear, I want to change the name that I select from the list when I'm
creating an invoice or a bill.

cheers, Martin
