For the United States, calculating the correct sales tax rate can be extremely complicated, due to how and where the boundary lines for the various tax districts fall. The other half of the problem is knowing which agencies that can impose sales tax, do impose it, and how much they impose, which is something that some state revenue departments appear to be unable to keep track of.

Not to mention there are places where you go from city, to county back to city.
Or one side of the road is city and the other is county.
