I am developing a web site and I need to know what tax rates should be added to the price of a product so I could implement the application accordingly.

Could someone tell me if the tax rate added to the price of a product sold in a online e-commerce web site is the one existing in 1) the country of the person who bought the product, 2) the country where the web owner site resides, 3) the country where the server hosting the web site resides or 4) the country where the owner registered his company ( supposing he did so ) ?

And what would be the situation if the e-commerce web site owner works just as self-employed and did not register the web site as company ?

If your developing the site for your client, I would think your client should be finding that information out and giving it to you. A lot will depend on what country and what state everything is in. It's best to talk with an accountant to find out the laws to be sure.
