State sales taxes in US?

[Larry Pitcher]

Hi,

I'm working on a project that wants to use GetPaid and we need to
collect state sales taxes in Washington state, USA. Does anyone have
this working? I've searched and found nothing about actually making
taxes work. There's even a form in the Configuration thingee for
taxes, but nothing to select. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

The getpaid core includes the ability to look up taxes for an order, but the default implementation is a dummy tax utility that returns 0 tax.  You need to implement an ITaxUtility component which can calculate the tax based on an order.  As far as I know no one has released a generic tax utility for use with US state taxes.  You might find http://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/getpaid.vat/trunk to be a useful example of how to create your own tax utility.
