Instead, you need to subscribe to a specialist who constantly monitors tax rates and provides a continuously updated database of rates -- usually keyed off something like zip codes.

Usually, taxes are done as if purchased in the area that the business resides, if is instate. Thus, what ever local taxes to the business apply, if the customer lives in the same state.
