This is documented here:

20Tax%20--%20simple%20salestax.asc%20table

Since I haven't actually had to deal with it, I cannot vouch for the
completeness or correctness of the information there but it sounds like
you want to put your list of zip codes and tax rates in salestax.asc.
Hope that gets you going in the right direction.
