Open APIs

Hi All,

I need some understanding on how TaxItem is calculated in ProductOfferingPrice, will taxRate be flat or in percentage like 20% or flat 20.0,  and taxAmount is the 20% of "price". Below example provided in TM620 document.

"price": { "unit": "EUR", "amount": 50 },

"tax":
[ { "taxAmount":
    { "unit": "EUR",
      "value": 10 },
     "taxCategory": "VAT",
     "taxRate": 20.0
} ]

Hi Leena
The API is a reflection of the capabilities of the software - but the API definition does not specify how those capabilities should be implemented.
If your jurisdiction has simple tax rate legislation (e.g. fixed percentage VAT) you would probably calculate the tax internally. If the jurisdiction has complex tax rules (e.g. North America), you might use a tax engine.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Jonathan, for the clarification. I understand this as the structure of Tax object depends on the calculations/ capabilities of the Tax software, so the TMF620 model can be extended based on that requirement.
