NOTE: This only works in QuikStore Version 2.12.106 and above! If
      your qs_main does not have the county tax file variable, you
      need to update it to the latest version.


NOTE: If you add this variable to the qs_main and set it to yes, and
you have the county tax file created, it will print the <select> box
from the tax file for the shipping page so you can copy it.

print_county_select_box_from_file=yes

Just view the source of the page, copy it, and then set the variable
above to no once you have the html code.

Settings in the qs_main for county tax:


[ORDER_CALCULATIONS]
#
# By increasing the numerical value (1,2,3) you can define when
# the specific value gets calculated. If you want the discount to
# be applied before the shipping, then the discount and sales tax
# would be 1 and the shipping would be 2. If any of the parameters
# are set to 0, then it never gets calculated.
#
calculate_discount_at_order_form=1
calculate_shipping_at_order_form=1
calculate_sales_tax_at_order_form=2
#



[SALES_TAX]
     #
     # Sales tax is always a percentage of the total order
     # The state is where the store is located.
     #
     # NOTE: To setup for multiple tax rates in NY,
     # see the county variables below:
     #
sales_tax_value=.06
sales_tax_form_field_name=Mailing_State
sales_tax_state_value=NY
     #
     # Use County file for tax rates allows you to define fields
     # for different levels of tax for each county in the file.
     # An entry in this file would look like this:
     #
     #      Albany|0.04|0.08|0.06
     #
     # One entry per line. The county name|and 3 different levels
     # of tax that could be applied in the above example. You can
     # have as few or as many levels as you like.
     #
     # The cart field number to use for a specific product is set
     # below in the  "cart_index_of_sales_tax_rate"  variable.
     #
     # You MUST use product specific sales tax to do this so it can
     # read each line in the cart to get the tax rate for each
     # product. However, instead of entering the tax rate (.06) in the
     # cart_index_of_sales_tax_rate field as described below, you
     # enter the "field number from the county tax file" that you want
     # to use for the item. Fields start with zero, so to apply .08 from
     # our example above, you would enter a 2 in the selected cart
     # field.
     #
use_county_tax_file=yes
     #
     # What is the name of the county tax file?
     #
     # NOTE:This file needs to go into the "log_files" directory
     #

     # Item specific sales tax allows you to designate the sales
     # tax rates by product.
     #
use_item_specific_tax=yes
     #
     # cart_index_of_sales_tax_rate designates the CART field you
     # are using for the tax rate. (04 is the size field.) See
     # the CART_FIELD_NUMBERS above for the values to enter here.
     # Unless you are using the county tax file, where it would 
     # be a field number instead of a percentage, the item specific
     # rates MUST be entered in decimal values like .06
     #

     #
     # Should we apply shipping to the GST tax?

Mailing_County MUST be added to the shipping and orderform pages. You
need this on the orderform or it won't re-calculate the tax at checkout.
