Applying Taxes based on Zip Code
Taxes here in California, are applied based on Zip Codes.
 
1)  Is there a way to make the Tax module work based on Zip codes and have the system
      pick up the right Tax value based on the shipping zip code address?
 
2)  Would the Buil Import tool works based on Zip Codes?

Yes, the table based tax module supports shipping zip code by default. Yes, the bulk import tools works with zipcode.

Re: Applying Taxes based on Zip Code
What would the import Format look like ...same as the one on the documentation?
Do I need to do anything in order to make the TAX be applied based on the Shipping Zip Code?

Yes, same as on the document. E.g.
 
CA Orange County Sale Tax,0.15,Country=US;ZipCode=90000
 
No, Tax is always destination based. It's caculated based on the shipping address.

Re: Applying Taxes based on Zip Code
Great ....and just to confirm since it's based on the shipping address, because the tax table is based on zipcodes, even if 2 orders are for the same city, if the zip code of one has higher tax, it will apply different taxes.
 
Is that right?
