Chris,
I think it has to be tracked all by itself. Sales tax is based on a legal
authority/region. Unfortunately, a zip code can (and not so infrequently
does) cross legal boundaries. Also, on addresses, a main, large city may be
substituted for a suburb on an address (e.g. Chicago may be used for an
address when in reality, the address is located in a suburb city with a
separate legal authority).
My 2 cents,
Mark
