OT: A Taxing problem for card sellers

[edhans]

New York has a relatively simple table for combined state and locality rates. Most often the localities are counties, but there are a handful of municipalities that have opted to establish their own taxing jurisdictions, so a seller needs to be aware of those exceptions. The problem for me has been knowing where card are to be shipped prior to telling the buyer how much to write his check for. I always forget this and wind up eating the tax.
