    Default Taxes and Zones - really confusing me!

    I am setting up a Zen Cart shop for a wine shop, and am just confounded by setting up the zones and tax rates. If anyone can help or point me to a previously started thread that might help I'd really appreciate it. Here's the scenario:

    The shop, which is in Denver, sells wine and non-wine items e.g. wine bottle openers.
    If the buyer/deliver-to address is within Denver, the tax is
    wine: 8.1%
    non-wine: 7.772%

    If the buyer/delivery is in Colorodo, but not in Denver, the tax is:
    wine and non-wine: 4.1%

    And of course no tax for out-of-state orders (not all states can be shipped alcoholic items).

    I've read a thread about setting up a zone for the city and one for the rest of the state, but I'm not clear about that process. And how do I deal with the different tax rate for wine and non-wine items?

    I'm confused about setting a tax class for the item when it really depends on the destination and type of order.

    Basically set up Colorado as a zone and to this add 3 tax classes with the same priority so that they are additive

    Colorado - 4.1%
    Local - 3.672%
    Alcohol - 0.328%

    Thank you! Boy was I over-complicating it. I've got that set up now and will give it a try.

    Do I need to make a separate zone for the Local (Denver) part - so Colorado would have 2 zones, one within Denver and one exluding Denver?

    Colorado will have 3 tax zones:

    1: Colorado - 4.1%
    2: Local - 3.672%
    3: Alcohol - 0.328%
