It's called software. *It will be automatic, similar to the way the

But taxes don't work like that, especially sales taxes. YOu have state
taxes, but many places also have local sales taxes, and often more than
one. There was an area around O'Hare at one point (don't know if it
still exists) where there was state, city, airport authority and some
other entity sales tax.

Sorry but I have been working with software for 40 years and it's a no
brainer. Just more excuses.
