You need to manually split off the sales tax. You are correct that
there is no way to get GnuCash to do it for you automagically. You can
get GnuCash to calculate the amount for you. For example, if the total
is $1234.56 and you have a 5% tax rate you can input into gnucash:
1234.56*.05 and it will compute the result in real-time.
