I have a need, for excise tax on fuel, to calculate the excise tax on the UOM (Gallons) and use a value rather than a percentage (e.g. diesel taxed at $.20/gallon.)
I understand this is also an issue for CBD dispensaries that have to post tax dollars by the ounce.
Has anyone come up with a solution to this? Client is too small for Avatax at this time.
I thought, given their limited distribution, I could utilize a Sales BOM concept, but that doesn't appear to help without significant production/routing configuration (client is not a manufacturer.)
Any suggestions appreciated.

Rob,
This one very hard out-of-the-box since Sales Tax is % based but has maximum amount features, which will not help. I would recommend, given what you are trying to do, look at Avalara AvaTax to assist here:
www.avalara.com/.../calculating-sales-and-excise-tax-on-the-same-invoice.html
They will calculate and post the correct Excise Tax for Fuel. This stays away from a customization/extension and you will be compliant for Sales/Use/Excise tax.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Steve
