How to tax specific line items when creating a PO?

Rather basic question considering what I have seen on these forums, but, I cannot figure out how to do it. 

To further clarify my goal here, when creating a PO and entering each line item’s price and quantity, I would like an intuitive way to multiply the total price for that line item by a fixed constant (tax rate) without doing this for every item on the PO since only a select few items are taxable in most cases.

My strongest idea was to create a UDF labelled “taxable”, and if this field was 0 or blank, nothing changes. But if the field was 1, the total price for that line item would now reflect the price after taxes. Can anyone help me implement this?

Note: I do have admin access.

    I don't think i understand what you are asking for but i'll take a shot in the interest of clarifying the question.   

    PO items are taxable.  In countries with VAT you pay taxes on the PO lines and offset it against the tax you receive on the Sales (simplistic explanation).  Sage has these taxes on PO line items - green rectangle.

     

    >>select few items are taxable

    Assuming this is constant, you can set up taxes for that item.  

    An explanation on the first tax field.

    This field is used to enter a first tax code to apply to the ordered product.
    The tax codes (VAT, additional taxes, special taxes and/or provincial taxes) can be modified on the order line if the transaction authorizes it. They are initialized according to the tax determination rules that most often are coming from crossing the supplier tax rule with the tax levels of the entered product.
    If activity code PTX - Regional taxes is activated, it is also possible to access at line level four additional taxes that are used to manage regional taxes. When converting an order line into a receipt or invoice line, the tax codes entered in the order line are transferred to these documents.
    The right click is used to select a tax code for each tax level.
