Tax code lookup

Element type: Required

Endpoints/models used: ListTaxCodes

Your UI must include a method to pull in and surface Avalara tax codes within the application. You can do this using the ListTaxCodes API. This API returns the Avalara supported system tax codes that your integration can consume and expose to your users.

View example:

curl
  -X GET
  -H 'Accept: application/json'
  -H 'Authorization: Basic aHR0cHdhdGNoOmY='
  'https://sandbox-rest.avatax.com/api/v2/definitions/taxcodes'

You can also apply an isActive filter to return only active tax codes.

View example:

curl
  -X GET
  -H 'Accept: application/json'
  -H 'Authorization: Basic aHR0cHdhdGNoOmY='
  'https://sandbox-rest.avatax.com/api/v2/definitions/taxcodes$filter=isActive eq true'

Tip

You can also create custom tax codes, if necessary. Refer to the Create and update custom tax codes article in the Avalara Knowledge Center for more information.
