The State Tax Code represents a series of codes which are derived from
your State's Retail Tax Chart to give you the highest level of accuracy in
charging sales and other taxes.

specific state's tax code is not listed in the appendix. Take the time to

method of determining the tax code.
Then, using The Worksheet on page 119, duplicate the method of
calculating your state tax code by the steps described in this section. To do

Tax Office. After you are done, write down the tax code and save the
information for future reference.

assigned a tax which is exactly one cent higher than that assigned to the
