Create a transaction from a calculation 

Tax
Tax Transactions
Create a transaction from a calculation

Creates a Tax Transaction from a calculation, if that calculation hasn’t expired. Calculations expire after 90 days.

Parameters

  • calculationstringRequired

    Tax Calculation ID to be used as input when creating the transaction.

  • referencestringRequired

    A custom order or sale identifier, such as ‘myOrder_123’. Must be unique across all transactions, including reversals.

  • metadataobject

    Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

More parameters

  • posted_attimestamp

    The Unix timestamp representing when the tax liability is assumed or reduced, which determines the liability posting period and handling in tax liability reports. The timestamp must fall within the tax_date and the current time, unless the tax_date is scheduled in advance. Defaults to the current time.

Returns

A Tax Transaction object.
