This is the equivalent of typing in a random URL and hoping it will
strike gold....

The easiest way is just to assign a zero salestax.

	[assign salestax=0.00]

The other thing you can do is to set the mv_nontaxable attribute
in the item. You need to read up on how to set attributes in
OnFly -- I believe I designed in a mechanism to do that and
even documented it. Mostly, I set them in embedded perl, though:

	[calc]	
		for my $item (@$Items) {
			$item->{mv_nontaxable} = 1;
		}
		return;
	[/calc]
