# Private line

The Private Line Split (`plsp`) key provides you with the ability to obtain taxes for a private line transaction. Simply provide a percentage in the form of a decimal to indicate the percentage which applies to the origination (`from`) point. Any remaining charges are then applied to the termination (`to`) point.

For example:

-   A transaction has two points: Point 'A' and Point 'Z'
-   A `plsp` of`0.25` means 25% of the taxes are attributed to Point 'A', the remaining 75% to Point 'Z'

Remove the Private Line Split (`plsp`) key from the line item (`itms`) if you don’t want to use the Private Line functionality. Setting `plsp` to 0 is interpreted as a private line split of 0% for Point ‘A’ and 100% for Point ‘Z’.

Note

Private Line functionality isn’t supported on Tax Inclusive (`incl` set to `true`) line items (`itms`).

## Example

**View request**:

Point ‘A’ is Louisville, KY while Point ‘Z’ is Irving, TX. A 50% Private Line split (`plsp`) is set, meaning that 50% of the transaction is applied to Point ‘A’ and the remaining 50% to Point ‘Z’.
