# Tax amount scenario

This scenario is used to determine that the Tax amount in AvaTax is the same as the tax amount in your platform on the invoice. This scenario assumes the following:

-   The`shipFrom` address is anywhere in the US.
-   The`shipTo` address is in Washington DC, so be sure that your company is configured to collect tax in Washington DC.
-   Line 1`amount` is $100, and the`taxCode` is`P0000000`.
-   Line 2`amount` is $100, and the`taxCode` is`NT`.
-   Line 3`amount` is $50, and the`taxCode` is`FR020100`.

## Expected result

Taxes\\Fees column should total $7.50. Remember that freight is only 50% taxable in this scenario. In the cURL response below, look for the`totalTax` field in the response.
