If I understand well, I can set up multiple taxes, like here in Quebec, we have a provincial tax, and a federal tax on the cumulated amount of the retail price and the provincial tax.

You do not have to go that far; in the US taxes may vary from
county to county, whether you are within the city limits or not, the
kind of item, or even the time of the year. Each "contributor" to the
tax can change its contribution whenever they feel like ("we need to
buy a hotel downtown to house homeless cats!").
