ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for handling taxes in computer-based sales transactions. In a sales transaction, a buyer makes a purchase from a seller. The purchase has a purchase price and a tax amount owed on the purchase. In one aspect, the techniques include using a tax handling proxy to identify a tax calculation service for a sales transaction and to interact with the identified tax calculation service to obtain the tax amount for the sales transaction. The tax calculation service is provided by a governmental tax authority. In another aspect, the techniques include transferring payment for a tax amount from the buyer to the governmental tax authority without passing through the seller. The payment for the tax amount is transferred contemporaneously with a transfer of a payment for the purchase price to the seller.
