>> Tax tables are available from NYS gov site. >> The state taxes are based on County and City, which is nearly impossible to deal with. Zip codes aren't completely accurate but much easier. You can find the zip code data here:
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2792 The only problem is that there are a few customers who will be pissed that they are being over charged sales tax. However, it if is a national business, it will be less than 1 in 10,000 customers (a few people are in white plains and yonkers zip codes but not in that tax jurisdiction). To do it exactly right, you have to geocode the address and use a geo tax database. this is offered as a service, but it cost roughly $500/year. Hope that helps.
