Kian Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Yes, I was thinking about adding this features It's not so hard. Now the point is that I have to find an XLS with all zipcode/tax rates combinations. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Anyway apart from this is it really based on zip codes? Aren't states enough? I mean... zip2tax.com/Website/Images/States/US-sales-tax-map.png Edited May 21, 2015 by Kian 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yes, I was thinking about adding this features It's not so hard. Now the point is that I have to find an XLS with all zipcode/tax rates combinations. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. check your PM - i've sent you a link that I think might be useful. Anyway apart from this is it really based on zip codes? Aren't states enough? I mean... it is a weird concept isn't it - we don't have regional taxes like this in the UK... and I assume they're not in Italy either. WHMCS as is can handle US State taxes - it's getting beyond that point with counties/cities (level 3 tax) within those States that needs adding. as you say, it's not technically difficult - so it's surprising why WHMCS never added the option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kian Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 During the last 2 weaks I tried to contact multiple companies that provide a service to calculates in real time the VAT rate in US depending on city, street name, zip code etc. Sadly I received no one single answer They hate me I keep on trying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kian Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'm getting mad Is it possible there's no API service that can be used to retrieve the right tax rate to apply in USA? Is there a database or a .gov website where I can find all these values? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a database or a .gov website where I can find all these values? It would be hard for an API service to do this as each US state has different tax rates look at this http://www.taxrates.com/download-tax-tables/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kian Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thank you for your answer. I tried to contact them 3 times with no success in different periods and I received no answer They have exactly what I'm looking for. I had a plan. They maintain spreadsheets with tax rate always up to date. They simply have to make them reachable via internet so that I can add in my module an API to send requests to these spreadsheets and get the informations I want. In order to authenticate on their system, WHMCS owner must have an account with them (and pay them as they want: recurring amount, payment per request etc.). Basically they can get clients and money from this meanwhile I can add this feature to my module. I'll try again next month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kian Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I noticed it now. Months ago, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd time I emailed them receiving no answer, there was not this kind of service. The entire website was a big "contact us". Now I see that there are new pages, integration with Magento, Prestashop and maybe WHMCS even if I don't understand the meaning of the website linked to their WHMCS integration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their Rate Limit is really low, you may need to contact them about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
