Tax Class Zones By Manufacturer, Multiple States & Rates

[Guest]

I currently have a store based out of Texas that I charge 8.25% tax rate in. Recently CA has changed the laws in the areas that we are shipping from, and we are now required by only CERTAIN manufacturers/distributors of ours to charge CA tax and TX tax (since we are operating in TX). On top of that, each Manufacturer/distributor uses different tax rates because they reside in different parts of CA.

 

What I need to do is setup a "Taxable Goods" for each manufacturer, labeled such as "Manufac1 Tax Goods" and Manufac1 can charge tax IF the customers shipping address resides in CA at a 9.25% rate, AND OR in TX at our regular 8.25% since we are located in Texas, but have shipping locations also in CA. We would NOT charge tax for BOTH on the same order, JUST if the customers shipping address is CA or TX based.

 

However, say "Manufac9" is one of our local distributors/manufacturers that IS NOT shipped from CA and stocked at our location, we would ONLY want to charge the regular 8.25% tax zone.

 

 

I have tried to configure this and test it and get it to work but I am starting to wonder if OSC has this feature built in. I am running a CRE Loaded heavily modified version of OSC. I find it hard to beleive that this software would be designed NOT to support different tax zones and rates, out-of-the-box. Even eBay for years has the ability to charge different tax zones at different rates for multiple states per auction.

 

Can anyone with some more experience with this please help me out, this is costing us a lot of money until we can get this fixed due to the fact that we have to ship from CA to TX, and then back to the CA customer until we get this resolved.

 

Thanks,

Jon

Does anyone know how to get the Tax classes to work this way, or does anyone know if it is even possible?

 

Will I need to get a custom script written? Any help would be appreciated.
