It's incredibly complex. And Australians have all been led to believe that we have the most complex tax system on the planet. Liz
The reason is that here in the US sales tax is not national. The US is a federation of states and commonwealths. You would not be surprised if 50 countries had highly different rules about sales tax, whether or not had one, what rates and what applied to and we were discussing transactions crossing country boundaries. So why does it seem surprising with our states.
We haven't even begun to discuss another level of complexity for the proposed software to deal with. It would also have to be able to be turned off for each state by date range! That's because it is not at all unusual for the governor of a state that has sales tax to declare a "tax holiday" << to boost business >>
