Even worse, sometimes local sales taxes in the 🇺🇸 depend on where the buyer lives, not where the seller does business.
That is almost always true, and to make this even worse, JUST the buyer's postal address might not be a correct indication of the state. Postal zip codes do NOT respect state boundaries. If that seems odd to you, imagine the situation where a road is the boundary between two states or crosses back and forth across the boundary. Do you imagine the post office sends two postal trucks, one to deliver to one side of the road and the other for the other side, or one to deliver to the stretches of road in one state and another for the stretches in the other state.
How many of us have customer databases that in addition to customer address, store the state where this actually is as opposed to just going by the state that the post office is in (for that zip code)
