CompanyDistanceThresholdModel
A company-distance-threshold model indicates the distance between a company and the taxing borders of various countries. Distance thresholds are necessary to correctly calculate some value-added taxes.
Distance thresholds only apply to sales of goods in certain countries. A distance threshold is applied for each ship-from/ship-to combination of countries. The threshold amount is defined by the ship-to country.
Generally, if you have exceeded a distance threshold for taxes between a pair of countries, your tax calculation will be determined to be the rate in the destination country. If you have not exceeded the threshold, your tax calculation will be determined to be the rate in the origin country.
The amount of a threshold is not tracked or managed in AvaTax, but the decision of your tax compliance department as to whether you have exceeded this threshold is maintained in this object.
By default, you are considered to have exceeded tax thresholds. If you wish to change this default, you can create a company-distance-threshold object to select the correct behavior for this origin/destination tax calculation process.
This model is used in the following APIs:
A unique ID number representing this distance threshold object.
The ID number of the company that defined this distance threshold.
The origin country for this threshold.
This field supports many different country identifiers:
- Two character ISO 3166 codes
- Three character ISO 3166 codes
- Fully spelled out names of the country in ISO supported languages
- Common alternative spellings for many countries
For a full list of all supported codes and names, please see the Definitions API ListCountries.
The destination country for this threshold.

For distance threshold values that change over time, this is the earliest date for which this distance
threshold is valid. If null, this distance threshold is valid for all dates earlier than the endDate field.
For distance threshold values that change over time, this is the latest date for which this distance
threshold is valid. If null, this distance threshold is valid for all dates later than the effDate field.
True if your tax professional has determined that the value-added tax distance threshold is exceeded for this pair of countries.
If you set this value to false, your value added taxes will be calculated using the origin country. Otherwise, value
added taxes will be calculated on the destination country.
Indicates the distance threshold type.
This value can be either Sale or Purchase.
