My state uses destination based taxing so I intend to use the Smith_Tax table option. However, my State breaks taxes down below the city level for special projects like rapid transit. So, a single city could have two or more tax rates depending on address. Also, the table does not allow for unincorporated areas (no city). These could be solved by adding a drop down list for city where the buyer can make selections that include the differences. i.e. - An unincorporated area in a County would select the City of County - Unincorporated from the drop down list. Is it possible for me to do this? If so, how? This is a big issue since I talked to the State tax people and they said I have to get the tax correctly or be fined.

Thanks for the help.

Just realized that I can't use the City text box but will have to add a new drop down control and call it something like Taxing District and save the entry as City for those purchasing in my State.

Looks like I acn use the drop down option in Checkout Step 1 for this.

All I need now is a method to import my drop down list. It's over 2000 items so one by one would be a killer. Ideas? Where is it stored?

You can use the sql server import wizard. Here is a post that explains how to use it:

I feel your pain. MN and WI are similar. The tax tables were a PITA.

I'm almost there! I used SQL to populate my new Tax District dropdown list on the Ship To page. Nice feature! So now I have to either set Ship To City = Tax District when my state is selected or get the tax table lookup to use Tax District instead of City. The latter will work because my state is the only one set to use the tax table. 21 states have now gone to this tax method so consideration might be given to adding this as an option in the Buy Now module.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I may not have been clear in the previous post. I need help doing what I suggested.

Thanks.

Did you use the custom dropdown list in the buynow settings under the step 1 section for your tax district dropdown?

Yes. Now I need to get the tax table lookup to use tax district entry instead of ship to city for retrieving the tax. Not sure how/where to do this.

Currently, the cart tax function isnt programmed to use a value from the custom dropdown list on step 1 so its not possible for you to change the ascx page to do this without source code. If you would like to purchase source code or get a quote for our programming team to do it please send an email to sales@smith-consulting.com
