Those 2 issues, ie taxes of different types of items and tax  
holidays, are considered the same Geo and tax authority Party, but  
the SimpleSalesTaxLookup table has effective dates (simplistic and  
somewhat difficult to maintain for tax holidays, but works), and  
there is also a tax category ID on the tax lookup entity and on the  
Product entity which if present must match.
