API V3 CustomSalesTax

I am currently testing V3 of the API with QBO.

Creating an invoice that includes tax is fine if the TxnTaxDetail includes a TxnTaxCodeRef that exists in QBO.

However I noticed when pulling the list of tax codes from QBO that there is a special one called CustomSalesTax.

Can this CustomSalesTax be used to add a custom sales tax to an invoice ?. For instance, I'd supply the TotalTax = 1000, TaxLine.Amount=1000, TaxLine.TaxLineDetail.PercentBased=false in order to add 1000 of tax to the invoice.

Thanks Fernando

Solution

  • CustomSalesTax is a special id that represents the old US tax model. So this can be used to update any old transactions that are tied to old US tax model. Cannot create new transactions using this CustomSalesTax.
