As far as I know there is no general strategy for VAT style sales tax
support. I believe those who are using OFBiz for this are using
individual customizations.
There is some work that I'm doing right now to significantly expand

within the next couple of weeks. You can see some early with in this
direction in the TaxAuthority and related entities in the order
component.
