Taxes are most definitely country-based, whereas the account hierarchies
are more language-based. Not saying we don't or can't have
country-specific account hierarchies, but I do believe they are somewhat
disjoint in their selections.
Personally I would love to see them be completely disjoint. For example
if I ever moved to Germany I would want to have a german-style hierarchy
and tax report, but I would most definitely want GnuCash to run in English!
