Yes, this is a problem I just noticed a well - I'm dealing with tangible products that need to be shipped. If you purchase something for shipping to another address that's outside your tax zone, the taxes are not calculated on the purchase.

For example, I'm in Canada and subject to GST. If I buy and send something to my brother in the US, it isn't charged tax by OSC, but it should be.

I guess it's because OSC is using the [b]delivery[/b] address instead of the [b]billing[/b] address.

This is bad as OSC won't charge the taxes that are due, but I'll be liable for them regardless  :( 

Is there a switch that I need to set somewhere? or do I need to start in on the code?
