codestring or null

The reference code of the tax rate.

componentslist of objects or null

An array of tax components.

descriptionstring or null

An arbitrary description of the tax rate.

effective_tax_rateinteger or null

The effective tax rate value as the percentage multiplied by 100. For example, 12.5% is represented as 1250.

For manually created tax rates (is_external=false), this is the tax rate value defined by the user.

For tax rates fetched from accounting systems (is_external=true), the effective tax rate is calculated based on the components.

In case of QuickBooks, effective_tax_rate is the same as total_tax_rate and is the sum of all tax components.
In case of Xero, the effective rate can be higher than the sum total. This happens in the compounded tax rate scenarios, where multiple taxes are applied in a sequence and later taxes are applied to amounts that already include earlier taxes.

The effective tax rate value as the percentage multiplied by 100. For example, 12.5% is represented as 1250. For manually created tax rates (`is_external`=`false`), this is the tax rate value defined by the user. For tax rates fetched from accounting systems (`is_external`=`true`), the effective tax rate is calculated based on the `components`. * In case of QuickBooks, `effective_tax_rate` is the same as `total_tax_rate` and is the sum of all tax components. * In case of Xero, the effective rate can be higher than the sum total. This happens in the _compounded_ tax rate scenarios, where multiple taxes are applied in a sequence and later taxes are applied to amounts that already include earlier taxes.

is_externalboolean or nullDefaults to false

true if this tax rate was fetched from the connected accounting system, or false if it was created manually by the entity.

total_tax_rateinteger or null

For QuickBoooks, total_tax_rate is the same as effective_tax_rate.
