What we did was customize the customer profile by adding a few fields
such as taxable, tax on file with checkboxes.  So for each customer, 
we have control on whether they are taxable or not through the admin.
Then by adding some if statements in the checkout pages, taxes can be
turned on or off depending if taxable was checked.

Hope that helps.
