And better yet, find 2-3 unique Web Service providers -
That way, in case one website is down, you can write code that will
retrieve data from the 2nd provider, in case the 1st provider times out.
I like doing things myself too, and having total control over everything
- but in cases like this, it usually is better to let a web service
handle the work. Just make sure and cover the bases, with multiple web
service providers.
Hope that little tidbit of info helps :)

Never done it before, but have you considered finding a Web Service
provider that does it for you and all you have to do is pass it the
variables?
Here's one I found quickly doing a google search:

By using a web service provider to manage this for you, then you don't
have to worry about tax codes and law changes. No liability!

Subject: [Flashcoders] Validating Zip Code for Tax Purposes
Hi, everyone
I'm building an ecommerce site and need to calculate state tax for
California based upon user input in a zip code field.
Has anyone done this before? Would you possibly have some example code
or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Dave
