The components of client profile account customizations are:
Customizations allow you to change how the AFC tax engine produces the results of your CalcTaxes request.
Customization files include:
| Customization File | Description |
|---|---|
| Bundle | Bundles enable you to:
|
| Exclusion | Removes a jurisdiction from consideration as the taxing jurisdiction |
| Override | Used to modify tax rates for a specified jurisdiction, alter the tax logic (how or when the tax is applied) for a Transaction/Service pair, and add or remove taxes from a Transaction/Service pair |
| Nexus | Indicates the jurisdictions that require you to calculate Sales and Use (SAU) taxes |
Configuration options are used to modify the operation of the AFC tax engine.
| Configuration Option | Settings | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Return Non-Billable |
| Non-billable taxes are compliance-only taxes or fees that are used for filing and are not passed on to your user. This option allows you to specify if non-billable items are included (Return Non-Billable is true) or excluded (Return Non-Billable is false) in the CalcTaxes response |
| Safe Harbor TAM Override(s) |
| Safe Harbor TAM Override configuration settings allow traffic study values to be applied to all transactions processed while using a client profile containing this configuration. The TAM values for Cellular, VoIP, and Paging are adjusted to reflect the percentages calculated in a traffic study |
| Tax On Tax Algorithm |
| Tax on Tax Algorithm determines how to process taxes when taxes are based on the tax amount of other taxes. The AFC tax engine repeatedly calculates the tax on the additional tax amount until the tax amount (when using IterateOnTaxAmount) or taxable measure (when using IterateOnTaxableMeasure) is less than one half of one cent (0.005). Single Pass calculates tax once without any iteration |
| Self-Tax Algorithm |
| Self-Tax Algorithm determines whether taxes that are classified as self-taxing should be calculated individually or in aggregate |
