Hi  
Im making a site for an artist in Malibu California.

I’m using Rapid Cart Pro. (Its great)

I’m a bit confused about the tax rules.  
If the art is bought by someone in California I must add 9% is that right?  
If shipping to outside California no tax?

Thanks for any advice!

Any shipping advice pricing for art greatly appreciated too!

@Figory,

How interesting to get such a question. Until someone better qualified than I am comes along to confirm, I’d have said you are right but may I offer these links to help:

RapidCart Pro features a powerful taxes handling and lets you set per-country and per-state taxes.  
It also supports three different taxes tiers to handle multiple tax rates in the same country or state.  
If you want to add 9% taxes for orders coming from California, just set 9% in the corresponding state and leave 0% taxes for the rest of the world.
