Guest jkrische Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Hello all... Is there a way to charge different tax rates in different counties within a given state? IE, in the core code, or with a mod/hack? A law passed in our state (Kansas) requires that online vendors located in the state *must* charge the local county sales tax for state-resident customers. So, a person in Topeka, KS gets charged the Shawnee County rate, while a customer from Wichita, KS must be charged the Sedgewick County sales tax. I would not be surprised to learn of other states with the same requirement. Thankfully we are only required to charge tax at all for KS residents - Missouri can bite me, at least as KS law would have it. Kansas, like many states, has a state-wide sales tax that is applied over & above the individual county tax. The state-wide tax is already part of the core code... what about counties? The problem as I see it is 2-fold. First, the cart needs to know how to charge county-level taxes, which I don't currently see. Second, the cart needs to store the customer's county as part of their profile, in addition to the state field, or be able to somehow detect the county based on Zip code. Any thoughts, pointers, etc?
