This is not what we were told by local officials.  And to your second solution, yes that's an option... but it's in Colorado it's still illegal.  Here it is against the law to not inform the consumer of the exact amount of tax they are paying at the time of purchase.

Actually if anybody would to take the time to seriously read the solution I've proposed it's quite simple - I just don't know the exact MySql syntax to make it work right.  And about it not being worthwhile - if I don't find a solution to this that's LEGAL within the next week then I very well might have to trash our shopping cart and start over with another program altogether - so it is WAY worth it to find a solution to this that works.

For individuals with County tax problems, I'm wondering if there's a way to convert the Canadian Tax contribution into an American County Tax solution.

Anyway, please look at the thread over here if you want to help with the city tax solution...
