The platform specific ID of the tax rate.

statusenum

The status of the tax rate.

One ofactive, inactive, or unknown.
codestringnullable

effective_tax_ratenumbernullable

Where there are multiple components of a tax, each component may be calculated on the original amount and added together. Alternatively, one tax may be calculated on the sub-total of the original amount plus another tax, which is referred to as compounding. When there is compounding, the effective tax rate is the rate that, if applied to the original amount, would result in the total amount of tax with compounding.

total_tax_ratenumbernullable

The total tax rate. This is the sum of the components of a tax rate, not including compounding.

subsidiariesarray

An array of Subsidiaries linked to the tax rate. Supported for NetSuite.

Request Parameters

    access_tokenstringqueryRequired

    The access token of the connection.

Request Body

    response_modeenumOptional

    The response mode for our async endpoints. prefer_sync allows calling the API in a best-effort, synchronous fashion and wait for the response. If this takes too long we will instead return the asynchronous response. This is the default behavior. async makes the API respond with the asynchronous response. See Asynchronous Operations.

    One ofasync or prefer_sync.
