The Drupal Commerce Connector for TaxRates is a Drupal compliant open source module that seamlessly links Drupal Commerce with Sales Tax calculations based on the zip code data downloaded from TaxRates.com.
Sales Tax is calculated based on the zip code of either the order shipping address (or the order billing address for digital goods) and the sales tax rate applicable to that zip code. The sales tax tables for each State in which a site has Nexus are available to be downloaded for FREE from the web site TaxRates.com
The Drupal Commerce Connector for TaxRates uses the shipping information and line item information from the Drupal Commerce order, parses the sales tax rates from the tables provided by TaxRates.com to calculate the correct amount of Sales Tax to be added to each order. Sales Tax on the shipping line item (assuming by public carrier) is correctly calculated for the those states that require shipping to be taxed.
Sales tax calculations performed on zip codes can not be 100% accurate. Sales sales jurisdictions are based on boundary data. As a result rates based on zip codes do not align perfectly with jurisdictional boundaries.
Note: adTumbler terminated its agreement with Avalara (publishers of TaxRates) in September 2017. Please Contact us at - bischoff.alex@adtumbler.com - for additional information or support requests.
One can only hope that CEO Scott McFarlane is able to make the changes described in a recent internal memo about questionable judgement published by Geekwire.
