StrikeIron Sales and Use Tax Complete Web Service 4.0.0

Instantly receive sales and use tax rates for a U.S. ZIP or Canadian postal code

Retrieves the current city, state, and county tax rates in the United States based on a given ZIP code, and Canadian provinces based on a province name. The live tax data is provided by Tax Data Systems. In addition, this complete version handles multiple tax jurisdictions within a single ZIP code (where county boundaries cross a ZIP code for example), and also includes multiple levels of tax rates such as MTA and SPD data, and 4 'other' tax rate fields. This Web Service also accepts REST invocations as well as SOAP.

Description

The StrikeIron Tax Data Systems Sales and Use Tax Web Services provide a programmatic interface to live sales and use tax data provided by Tax Data Systems.

Simply supply a U.S. ZIP or Canadian postal code and it will be instantly matched to the general sales and use tax rate levels for the state, county, city, MTA, SPD and more. The tax data is then delivered live via an XML–based Web service directly into any application, platform, product, or Web site.
