TaxAuthority

["skip@thedevers" <sk...@thedevers.org>]

In the main state in which my customer does business, there are about 50
different tax authorities with differing sales tax rates.

I need to create tax authorities for each of these jurisdictions, and then
associate customers who do business in them with these tax authorities so
the correct sales tax is charged.

I am assuming that I will need to create a geoId for each of them with the
state as the parent geoId, then create a TaxAuthority record for each of
these jurisdications.  I would then assume that I need to create a
PartyTaxAuthInfo for each customer pointing to the right tax authority.

I am hoping that someone with knowlege of this can tell me if this is
correct or I am out in left field.

think it best to find an outside service to do this.
I have run across a few.
what it requires is knowing the Geo data for each political boundary.
then it is a simple process of check if the Geo location is in those
boundaries.
most services need the address as well as zipcode to figure this out.
so if you are going to do it you need a routine that will convert
address to GeoData. You might use the yahoo or google aPI however there
is a disparity between the two, so if you close to boundary you may not
get the accurate information.

just my 2 cents.

By political boundries, cities, and counties mostly.  Each one has a
different tax rate and reporting requirements.

are you tax authorities, geographic, by zip, or by political boundaries?
