# Chapter 4.3.19 - Displaying Tax Results Source: https://developer.avalara.com/products/communications/integration-guides/dev-guide_rest_v2/customizing-transactions/sample-transactions/displaying-tax-results/ - [Previous](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/customizing-transactions/sample-transactions/tax-inclusive/) - [Next](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/customizing-transactions/sample-transactions/quantity/) REST v2 allows you to specify the level of detail returned as part of the [CalcTaxes response](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/reference/calc-taxes-response/). ### Setting the Flags There are two available levels of detail set on the [Invoice](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/reference/invoice/): - **Detailed tax details** (`dtl`): displays the tax details per line item - **Summary tax details** (`summ`): displays a summary of all taxes returned. InvoiceMode (`invm`) must be enabled **ReturnDetail** and/or **ReturnSummary** must be set to `true`. #### ReturnDetail Setting the ReturnDetail flag (`dtl`) displays or hides the detailed taxes object (`txs`) for each LineItem in the [CalcTaxes response](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/reference/calc-taxes-response/). InvoiceMode (`invm`) has no impact on the ReturnDetail flag. InvoiceMode Value ReturnDetail Value CalcTaxes Response Result `true` or `false` `true` (default) Enables return of tax details `txs` object `false` Disables return of tax details `txs` object ##### Note about Bundle Files Bundled tax calculations return summarized [detailed results](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/reference/detailed-tax-result) when more than one bundle item returns the same tax type. #### ReturnSummary Setting the ReturnSummary flag (`summ`) displays or hides the summary taxes object (`summ`) for the entire Invoice in the [CalcTaxes response](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/reference/calc-taxes-response/). InvoiceMode Value ReturnSummary Value CalcTaxes Response Result `true` `false` (default) Disables return of tax summary `summ` object `true` Enables return of tax summary `summ` object `false` `true` or `false` Tax summary `summ` object not returned ### Taxable Measure Taxable measure is returned as part the detailed taxes. It is 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 ### Example 1 - Summary and Detailed taxes Returned This example demonstrates both the Detail taxes (`txs`) and Summary taxes (`summ`) returned in the [CalcTaxes response](/communications/dev-guide_rest_v2/reference/calc-taxes-response/). In this sample request: - InvoiceMode, ReturnDetail, and ReturnSummary fields are all set to `true` This is the only combination of fields to return both the Detail and Summary taxes together. ```json { "cmpn": { "bscl": 0, "svcl": 0, "fclt": false, "frch": false, "reg": false }, "inv": [ { "doc": "DISPLAYING TAX RESULTS", "cmmt": false, "bill": { "cnty": "San Francisco", "ctry": "USA", "int": true, "geo": false, "city": "San Francisco", "st": "CA", "zip": "94102" }, "cust": 0, "lfln": false, "date": "2017-05-01T12:00:00Z", "itms": [ { "ref": "Line Item 001", "chg": 100, "line": 0, "sale": 1, "incl": false, "tran": 19, "serv": 6, "dbt": false, "adj": false }, { "ref": "Line Item 002", "chg": 0, "line": 10, "sale": 1, "incl": false, "tran": 19, "serv": 21, "dbt": false, "adj": false }, { "ref": "Line Item 003", "chg": 25, "line": 0, "sale": 1, "incl": false, "tran": 19, "serv": 37, "dbt": false, "adj": false } ], "invm": true, "dtl": true, "summ": true } ]} ``` #### Response Detailed taxes (`txs`) and Summarized taxes (`summ`) are both returned.

suppressed.
