Re: Towards ship-to-based sales-tax support

["M Lubratt" <..hidden..>]

Chris,

I think it has to be tracked all by itself.  Sales tax is based on a legal authority/region.  Unfortunately, a zip code can (and not so infrequently does) cross legal boundaries.  Also, on addresses, a main, large city may be substituted for a suburb on an address (
e.g. Chicago may be used for an address when in reality, the address is located in a suburb city with a separate legal authority).

My 2 cents,
Mark

Hi all;

I a know a lot of members of our community either have to deal with SSTI-based sales tax rules now or are going to next year (among other states, Washington is moving to that system).  I am trying to scope out the requirements for supporting tax calculations based on the destination of the shipment, and I am trying to find the best way of handling this.  Do people think that tracking tax rates per zip code is the way to go?  Per city/state combination?

Best Wishes,
Chris Tragers
