Funny thing, I've never been asked what county I live in by an online retailer. And sales tax rates definitely vary by county. I think the standard approach is to put your head in the sand and hope the state attorneys general never decide to go after e-tailers for taxes owed on the last 7 years worth of sales. ;-) All kidding aside, this is an issue that is probably best answered by your lawyer and/or accountant, and not by the wisdom (wise as it is) of this list. chris. _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
