While the automatic Tax Payable system may work well enough for Sales Tax, there are other taxes which I am obligated to record and pay that it does not handle so well. For example: in my state it is a requirement that we pay Use Tax on items which we do not resell and were not charged tax when purchased. There is no module for entering this type of tax, so I must make manual expense or journal entries. I would like to put these amounts into the Tax Payable account, but I am not allowed to post any entries to that account as I have the US version.

I see from the forums that the Global version got this upgrade 5 years ago, and yet the rest of us are still waiting. In my opinion there should be nothing in this system that is entirely "automatic" without the ability for the user to make corrections, adjustments, or whatever their needs may be. And every account should be available on the Manual Journal, it should be a master control for those unexpected situations that inevitably come up.
