This is NOT the responsibility of the designer.  This is information the 
client and the client's certified public accountant should provide to the 
designer.  The designer should absolutely NOT try to figure this out.  The 
client's responsibility for doing so and for paying all appropriate taxes 
should be clearly set forth in the designer's written agreement with the 
client.
