Topic: Different taxes within a state -- opinion requested

There are several states in the US where there's one tax for most of the state but another for certain section. I think NY is one state and I know here in Philadelphia, the tax is 7% while the rest of the state is 6%.



Since I'm trying to set up a shop for a small store located only in Philadelphia, would I be better off just hard coding the tax for the sales instead of looking it up in a table? I was thinking of checking the zip codes but UPS/USPS/FedEx/etc will deliver to the correct address even if zipcode is wrong, so a user could enter a wrong zip and not get taxed. Would it be a good idea to just check state="PA" and city="PHILA%"?



(Maybe I should ask Amanda, her gift store site is about a mile and a half from where I live.

P.S. Amanda, if you're reading this, how did someone in NC get a gig in PA?)
