I'm new to the accounting game but since starting with gnucash have learnt to
love double-entry bookkeeping. It Just Makes Sense[tm].

This led me to almost throwing gnucash out the window when I got a 1c rounding
error on the GST for a transaction. The way the vendor calculated GST and the
way gnucash calculated GST were not... balanced. The end result of this was that
I was always going to have this 1c difference on the books and it was bound to
grow. The books would never be balanced as a result.

Luckily I thought of making an extra entry in the sales tax tables for 1c and
added a tweak line to the bill entry that made it match and everything was "good
enough" in the world.

Hopefully that was the correct solution to this.
