Additionally, in what appears to be a rare case, if there are different taxing authorities collecting wouldn't there also be multiple taxes being applied to the product?  ie.
Widget = $100
Sales tax = 7%
Sin tax = 3%
Not a sprocket tax = 0.5%

Solving this isn't a an accounting issue as each would be applied to their appropriate account.  However, this may be an issue (i would think a small one if it exists at all) for the calculation of tax, and additionally the display of the tax on an invoice, etc.

Yes. That'd be a way to hack it. :-)

I'm just hoping if it were a common need, that we
not make people have
to resort to such measures. But it doesn't seem
like anybody has spoken
up. Which is a good thing, I guess--we all need
more efficient government.
