External tax calculation (by a third-party) - possible?

Hi,

The website I'm currently building will be operated by a company in WA, and apparently, we have a problem as the tax rate to apply... Varies from city to city!!
To me it's a completely crazy system but it seems we have to live with it. Anyone from the same state must be applied the tax of his own location... That's only for people from the same state, there's no tax for the rest of the world.

I know there are services that offer an automated and up-to-date tax calculation - for example Avatax. Is there a way to use that kind of service with CBSubs? Because otherwise, having hundreds of different tax rates and keeping them up to date is going to be an impossible nightmare...

Thanks.

Seb.

CBSubs doesn't have such a feature. You'd need to develop a new CB or CBSubs plugin to poll a database or an API endpoint for tax rates then push them to your CBSubs Tax database table to have such a feature.
