But be aware that if you compute sales tax on individual items, the total of the taxes you compute may be off by a penny or two from the tax your receipt shows for the transaction. These "rounding differences" are inevitable, as a current thread and many previous threads have discussed. It's mathematics, not any kind of software error. The only way to prevent them (if you want to prevent them, as opposed to manually tweaking the amounts) is never to buy multiple taxable items in the same transaction.
