In the Emerlad Admin, Client Config section, you can set the defaults
for the Default Export, Extend, and Limit (the last two are the temp and
perm extend).

The Default Expire sets the Expire/BilledThru to that many days after
today. Its essentially giving them that many "free" days. To avoid
the pro-rate, you could use anniversary billing. Emerald will not do
the weekly pro-rate.

You could use a script like this:
Update ma
Set Taxable = 1
