I have, over time, converted the C includes into RPGLE copy members.  This product installs locally on the server, or optionally can make use of a remote CLI interface, so that data and product objects on one server may be accessed from another...

I suppose it really depends on exactly who and what is being taxed; goods or services, retail exempt, fully exempt, specialized exemptions by purchaser's vocation, what is supposed to happen if shipping from a "destination state" into an "origin state"?...
