  • Previous
  • Next

Detailed Tax Result

The Tax object contains the taxes generated for each line item:

Key Value
bill [bool] Billable
Indicates if the tax is billable to your customer
  • true: Standard billable tax
  • false: Non-billable tax that cannot be billed to the customer
cmpl [bool] Compliance
Indicates if the tax is to be reported to the jurisdiction
  • true: Standard compliance tax
  • false: Non-compliance tax that should not be reported to the jurisdiction
tm [double] Taxable Measure
The basis for calculation of rate-based taxes. Simple transactions result in a taxable measure equal to the sale price. However, tax-on-tax, caps, thresholds, tiers, and taxable amount modifiers can all result in taxable measures that are greater than or less than the sale price. For rate-based taxes, Tax Amount = Taxable Measure * Rate.
Taxable measure is adjusted by any factor that changes the tax calculation. Examples:
  • Taxable measure exceeds the sale amount: Tax-on-tax occurs - the tax amount calculated includes tax amount from other taxes. The additional taxes to be included are added to the taxable measure
  • Taxable measure is less than the sale price: A discount is applied - safe harbor exemptions or internet tax in Texas where the first $25 is exempt from taxation
calc [int] Calculation Type

  • 1 Rate: Taxable Measure is multiplied by Rate

  • 4 PerLine: Number of Lines is multiplied by Rate
  • 5 SelfTaxingRate: Taxable Measure is multiplied by Self-Taxing Rate
