# Option to disable AvaTax

Learn about the requirement to provide an option to disable AvaTax independently of other Avalara services.

**Element type:** Required

**Endpoints/models used:** N/A

Your integration must provide an option to turn on or off the Avalara Calculation engine service independent of any other Avalara product or service. For example, a merchant wants to disable AvaTax for sales tax determination. They keep other Avalara services enabled, like Address Validation.

This requirement is handled through your back-end and not directly via an AvaTax API call.
