Is there a way to set up a tax rate that is based off the shipping address state? USA/Maryland does not charge sales tax on goods shipped out of state. From what I've read in the code, tax is calculated from the billing address.
Nice work!
thx

Just as a followup, StikeIron also incorrectly calculates this for shipping purposes.
The results below are shipping from MD to PA. In most business cases this would result in a MD sales tax rate of 0%.

The business logic I'm looking for is:
If shipping.address.state = Maryland then
For each non-exempt item
tax += itemcost * 6%
next
else
tax = 0
end if
