Tax amount by tax type overrides

After calculating customs duty and import tax and then shipping an item, you should expect a customs document from the country of authority that’s receiving the item. This document may show a difference or variance between the amount of tax that you calculated and the amount of tax that they charge. In order to maintain correct tax amounts for a transaction, AvaTax provides a taxAmountByTaxTypes TaxOverride. This allows you to specify the total tax amount to override per tax type applicable at the line level in a customs document.

Tip

taxAmountByTaxTypes can be used only at the line level.
