I tried to ask this one awhile back without a response... hopefully someone will have an answer for me (or at least direct me in the right direction).
We are trying to cover our international market allowing companies in Australia, Canada, Europe ect.. to use our shopping cart system. We have been trying to figure out the best most "generic" way to setup our taxing structures. For the United States, it is pretty simple, does the product offer taxing or not? and if so, what state and what is the tax rate for that state (not perfect but currently it works for most companies). So State_tax X Total Cart = Tax Charge Now if the retailer is in Australia or Canada we get into HST/GST/PST type taxes ...how do you compute those various types of taxes ... Then there is the VAT? Is it similar to US tax? My last question would be what is a flat tax, I have seen that around, but is it just what it says, ...example: $10.00 flat tax no matter how much your cart total is? Or is the flat tax added on to the other taxes? Many questions and if anyone has any knowledge that they would like to share, by all means ..Share and I appreciate it!
