When the Warehouse does not have tax set to on, then the Job's drop shipments will not have tax.
When the Warehouse does have tax set to on, but the Job does not, then drop shipments have no tax on the receipt record.
When the Warehouse does not have tax set to on, and the Job does, then there is no tax on the drop shipments.
