The point is that only the intersection of all options apply

So if you have 4 taxes (a, b, c, d) then if your customer had a and b 
selected, and the product had b and c selected, then the invoice would 
use only tax b (the intersection)

To solve the problem I sometimes duplicate my customer as vattable and 
non vattable, but more often I duplicate the product and make that 
vattable or non vattable.  eg you could use two consultancy items, 
"Consultancy with deliverable" and "Consultancy work only" and that 
would give you control over whether or not to bill tax

Good luck
