California Sales Tax Module

[lincomatic]

I've implemented a tax module for California. According to the BOE, you're supposed to charge CA local tax based on where the items are going to be shipped. However, any tax that you don't collect is the responsibility of the buyer ... they're the ones who are supposed to submit the tax that they didn't pay. So, I decided to implement something simpler such as what newegg.com does.. basically, you charge your local tax if the order is shipped to your local county, and 7.25% to other destinations in CA. Out of state is not charged tax.

My module contains all of the zip codes in Los Angeles County, and charges 8.25% if the item will be shipped to a zip code withing LA County.

You can easily modify the module to work w/ other states and zip codes.

This is a quick and dirty hack.. the data are all hard coded into the PHP, rather than using SQL ... perhaps I will go back and make it fancier if I have time in the future.
