Taxing Shipping, But Only For One Zone?

[rhodesa]

I have what I am finding to be a maddening taxing scheme for customer.

 

Thanks to the goofy relationship between Internet sales and US state taxing laws, the customer would like a way to set up OSC to do the following:

- Not tax at all sales by default

- tax sales in one state

- tax the shipping on sales in that same state

 

So I can dig setting up products to be taxed in one zone (in this case a particular state), but I start running into problems in figuring out the various shipping methods and how they figure into the logic. I see that shipping methods can be set up as taxable goods, no problem. However, if they are set up this way, do they properly not get taxed if the buyer is not in a taxable zone?
