AvaTax is a workhorse.

>> It's a fully featured sales and use tax engine for the US and Canada. It was built from the ground up using Microsoft .NET technology and its interfaces are industry standard XML, accessible through http and SOAP (standard protocols used on all platforms including AS400, Unix and Windows). The kernel runs on a server and was designed for scalability in a hosted environment, yet it's a shrink-wrapped software deliverable to the end user or hosting company.
