Able to set Tax calculation during PayPal express in SandBox?

How can I setup my PayPal sandbox account with tax settings?

I would like to setup tax as per the tax at the bottom of this page. https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/shipping/EasyCalculateShipAndTax-outside%20

I do not see these options in PayPal developer sandbox site setup.

What I would like to happen is PayPal works out that the billing address for the purchaser is in Australia, add 10% GST and then on the response, notifies me that 10% gst was applied (or the amount of other ways) so I can record that against the order and show it on the receipt.

Is paypal pro account needed? If so, I am also having problems making a pro account as outlined in this SO Question: Cannot create a business-pro account in sandbox?

The shipping calculator in PayPal website applies only to Website Payment Standard Buttons(Buy now, add to cart etc). If you would like to pass tax in PayPal Express Checkout, you need to pass tax using API variables such as PAYMENTREQUEST_n_TAXAMT. You don't need PRO account to do this.
