2. Escalating - the tax rate increases as the taxable amount increases.  For example the first $5000 the tax rate is 10% / for the next $5000 the tax rate is 12% etc
3. Tiered - the tax rates would be setup based upon the total transactional amount.  For example - normal tax rate is 7% but will change to 7.5% once the order is over $3000.
