Valid address and ip for testing taxes

Open alko89 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Clear and concise description of the problem

Faker works great when you're trying to generate random address and ip locations, but the generated addresses are not good when you want to test valid locations for tax calculation.

Suggested solution

Add a new method that would return a random address and ip card that would be valid for tax validation.

Yeah I meant real world valid. Basically the address needs to be recognized as taxable in an accounting software, kind of like these ones:

Team decision

We won't add a database with real world data.
