Multiple tax rates in my state

I am in a state that has multiple tax rates, for ie: 6% in most of the state then there are other counties charging an additional pecentage point.

How can I do that? and how can I determine if the customer is in one of those counties?

I am using 1.3.7 with the glossy blue template.
Thanks in advance?

Re: Multiple tax rates in my state

The situation just got a little hairier, just check South Carolina's tax rates by county and here is what I found:

Abbeville7%
Aiken7%
Allendale7%
Anderson6%
Bamberg7%
Barnwell7%
Beaufort7%
Berkeley7%
Calhoun7%
Charleston7.5%
Cherokee7%
Chester7%
Chesterfield8%
Clarendon8%
Colleton7%
Darlington8%
Dillon8%
Dorchester7%
Edgefield7%
Fairfield7%
Florence8%
Georgetown6%
Greenville6%
Greenwood7%
Hampton8%
Horry7%
Jasper8%
Kershaw7%
Lancaster7%
Laurens7%
Lee8%
Lexington7%
Marion7%
Marlboro7%
McCormick7%
Newberry7%
Oconee6%
Orangeburg7%
Pickens7%
Richland7%
Saluda7%
Spartanburg6%
Sumter7%
Union6%
Williamsburg7%
York7%

How can I set this up in my site, am thinking of leaving the state tax at 6% but then need to add the incremental rates for the other counties.

How would I do this or is there a module to help with this scenario?

I hadn't but as there will be multiple local sales tax rates will that still work?

I will download it and see if I can get it to work

Thanks for the info
