Hey there, @elysiumleopard. So, first off, item prices can not be variable like this, and automatically change based upon other factors like sales tax rates. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a POS system that would do exactly what you are trying to accomplish here, mostly because it would be a nightmare to maintain and track. You could try to submit a feature request on the Ideate Board, but this is one that I’m not sure would get much traction since it is not something that would be used by many sellers other than you, probably. But, at this point, all you can really do is what you are doing — calculating the price you need at the current location and manually changing it during your location setup.
I will say that if you could use sales tax-inclusive pricing in your POS, this would solve your problem. However, that approach would also open another can of worms as you would have to reprice your entire item catalog to include sales taxes in the prices. On top of that, some states require prior notification if you change from additive to inclusive sales tax calculations, so caution and the advice of an accountant is highly recommended if you decide to go this route.
Sorry not be have better news, here.
