We are attempting to upload our tax table information for NYC... we have a list by county but not by city- however, the table requires "city" as a required field. Do we need a complete list of city, county and tax rate? NYC only does tax by county except for a few cities. I'm curious how Smith Cart uses the Smith_Tax table to calculate taxes.

When you have selected the "Use Tax Tables" option in the buynow module setting the cart calls the stored procedure "Smith_GetTaxRate".

if (@CityName = '')
BEGIN
SELECT [TaxRate] FROM dnn_Smith_Tax WHERE lower([State]) like (@State)
END
else
BEGIN
SELECT [TaxRate] FROM dnn_Smith_Tax WHERE lower([City]) like lower(@CityName) AND lower([State]) like (@State)
END

The city is not required but if you dont populate it the lookup will just use state and the stored proc will only lookup by state and give you the same tax rate for the entire state. If you want different tax rates for each city you will need to populate the city. You should be able to download this info from your dot gov site for New York.

Thank you. And if we want it broken down by county?

The software doesn't ask for County during checkout- and I didn't see it in the stored procedure - so Smith Cart would not look that up?

Thank you,

We have looked everywhere for a NY State tax rate spreadsheet broken down by city and county (or at least city).

Are there services that you know of that sell this type data- or a place online this information exists? We cannot find this information.

Thank you!
