I assign all my Tax/VAT manually on the checkout page based on a region lookup
in the country table, in this example all countries with region set to
Europe-EC would get taxed at 5% + $2 and anything gets a Tax of 0.

[assign salestax]
[if type="data" term="country::region::[value country]" op="eq"
compare="Europe-EC"]
[assign salestax="[calc](([total-cost noformat=1]-[salestax noformat=1]) *
0.05)+2)[/calc]"]
[else]
[assign salestax=0]
[/else]
[/if]

Hope that helps,
Andy.
