This message was sent from: Features http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtopic.php?p=160192#160192 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Charging everybody in your state the same tax rate is seriously against the law. In the state your store resides in, you have to charge state tax; and if your store resides in a city, you have to charge city tax to anybody buying who lives in that city. Just because it's online doesn't mean the local and state tax laws don't apply. And if you misappropriately charge people the wrong tax rate, it is against the law as well and you can get in a lot of legal and financial trouble. It's totally insane that this isn't dealt with appropriately in OsCommerce. It should definitely be in the top 3 of the "ToDo" list. We are trying to find a solution for applying city tax over here... http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtopic.php?p=160146
