Tax codes are used by many third party sales tax calculation products, and are a way to determine the applicable sales tax a buyer is required to pay, specifically in the US.
Marketplacer has added the ability to add tax codes in three places:
At the Variant level
At the Product level
and at the Category level
API Availability
All three of these codes are available to retrieve and mutate via the GraphQL layer
Variant and Product codes are available to retrieve and mutate via the REST API layer
Input and Modification
Category - This can be completed via the Operator UI, or via the Categories bulk upload function
Variant and Product - This can be completed via the Seller UI, or via the advert bulk upload function
Hierarchy in relation to Avalara and US Sales Tax Calculation:
In order to enable the Avalara tax integration you are required to input a Category tax code, with the Product and Variant codes being optional.
At the time of calculation we will take the most granular tax code available in the following order: Variant > Product > Category. This give the ability for a level of detail in the case where a category tax code is not a suitably detailed enough for accurate calculation.
