    Hi everybody - I've searched around quite a bit on the forums and no luck so far. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Here's the situation in my county --
    MN - STATE SALES/USE TAX (6.88%)
    MN - HENNEPIN, COUNTY SALES/USE TAX (0.15%)
    MN - METROPOLITAN TRANSIT IMPROVEMENT AREA (HENNEPIN CO), COUNTY SALES/USE TAX (0.25%)

    If I don't add all those taxes to customers in my county, specified by the Hennepin county zip codes, I'm in trouble. If anyone has developed a zip code based tax system please let me know. Can't go live without it.

    thanks.

    Thanks for the reply Alexander - unfortunately I did contact help desk yesterday, and now I see that I got a response. Pretty funny --

    Me: Hi - is there any way to add taxes by zip code?

    Anton: No.

    Use a better payment system than paypal. Not sure, but check out 1shoppingcart. I know they have an option to charge taxes. I am not sure if it would charge those individual taxes depending on those counties.. You would probably have to charge everyone tax, but hell, in a few years every state will be doing this if NY and CA get their way in court.

    smijos,
    :)
    Actually reply was right because by default there is no way to do this.
    I took your ticket and sent a follow up.
