Hi,
Wondering if anyone is familiar with the practice in FL of charging a county sales tax (in addition to the 6% state sales tax), and how this may or may not be possible to set up in OS? Each county has their own rate and the rate is supposed to be based on the recipients ship to address.
Our company is based in FL, so it seems we are required to collect this tax....
Thanks,

Hi,
I live in Jacksonville, Duval County. In the state of Florida, you collect your tax rate based on where you operate from regardless of where the person is buying from within the state. For example, In Duval, we have a 1% Tax on top of our 6% state. We are required to collect 7% for ANY purchase made within the state of Florida.
This is also true if you travel to other venue within the state. If you travel outside your county that has, let's say, a 1.5% county tax to Duval to do a trade show where you will sell merchandise, you are required by the state to collect sales tax based on the county to which your business is registered.
Hope this helps.

screenprintdude, I'm not sure if that is correct. I am reading a guide for business owners:
http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/forms/2008/gt300015.pdf
It says that you have to collect sales surtaxes taxes of the county where the delivery is made.
I'm trying to use this oscommerce contributiuons:
Florida County Based Tax Zones
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2046
But it erases world zones that I have previously added with this contribution:
World Zones
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1792
Anyone has found a way to merge these two contributions?
I'm new to SQL and oscommerce so I don't know if I just need to merge the contents of the zones database.

I too am having a problem with this. I've been asked to assist a client who has their business in Florida. Upon looking at his site - he has:
Florida County Based Tax Zones
http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2046
...
Problem is, the "County" field on payment is not required so he's had Floridians(?) skip sales tax by not setting their county. He ships to other states so he can't really make it required for all users.
Has anybody else solved this problem, and if so, how?
