Can't be any worse than the morass that is tax calculation. Even on the US side it can be unbelievably complicated. Take a site I just wrapped up that had nexus in 3 US states, 1 of those states has different sales tax that has to be collected based on the county and town of the purchaser, and another state had a requirement that different goods are taxed at different rates, i.e. a jacket and a fur coat fall in two different categories and are taxed differently.
Like all things web, we ended up using an API for these calculations, from CyberSource in this case. There's no way a few fixed fees could be worse than this mess.
