That is actually a good approach.

Look at it from my point of view, living over here, 50 states 
potentially each requiring sales tax filed electronic (actually, not all 
states impose a sales tax -- but of those that do, neither the tax rates 
nor on what sorts of things imposed is uniform)

That sort of detail is best kept out of the accounting program itself. 
Then users need only install whatever bridges and filing apps which 
would be needed for their jurisdiction(s)*

customers in
