Attached is a patch which improves the action "commerce_tax_rate_apply" to provide back the applied tax amount as price. So one can make use of that price in subsequent rules.

My use case:
Conditionally apply a tax, but keep the original price value. So with the improvement I can easily subtract the tax amount from the base-price after applying the tax.

Whoa, is this a new feature of Rules that I didn't know about? If we return a value, Rules can actually make use of that in other data selectors or tokens or something? If so, I have several other places in mind where this would be very useful. : )

yep :) Actions may provide new variables, as well as (action) components. You can even return multiple variables if you wish.

This is soooo cool, fago. I've already been putting 'provides' to use elsewhere and wanted to make sure I came back to this patch before the 1.1! The only thing I changed on commit was to make the name of the provided variable match its label, so it's applied_tax instead of just tax. Thanks so much. : )
