I do have the configuration set to Shipping...

I hope I understand this module correctly, I set the local tax rates so that I have the ability to charge additional tax based on City, Zip or suburb.
The state of KS I can get an excel sheet of all the cities and the tax rate (this includes the state sales tax too). So I just want to be able to dump the City and Tax value into the database so that when a person orders something, it pulls their local tax rate and charges them that tax.

If this is how this works, I wonder if I have a bad file? It's as if the script continues to loop through the database and is pulling and displaying every tax in the local tax database. KS has 798 cities, so I'm getting a list of 798 cities and a tax value at checkout. Once you reach the city that the person is shipping to, from that city on the same value is displayed and totaled for the total tax which ends up being astronomical.

I DL the script from the zencart website and didn't alter it in any way but that's how it's reacting.

any addiitonal help would be great

thanks!
