Charge tax based on shipping address, not billing address?

I just found out that oscommerce charges tax based on the billing address of the customer. Is there any way to change this to the shipping address, as it should be. (I think, at least for tax law).

Actually, I believe it's the other way around and I've been trying to find someone that knows enough about Canada Post with Dimensions to change it. Without success.

 

In Canada, at least, if a customer and the store are in the same province, the buyer must pay the provincial and federal taxes regardless of where they ship it. The purchase was made by someone living in that province and that's what the taxes are paid on, where it's bought, not where it ends up.

 

If the shipping address is used, then the buyer won't be charged the taxes but you WILL have to pay them.
