You can check the way in which the tax service determines and calculates tax on sales or purchase transactions by using the Tax Service Simulator. This application allows you to enter details of a product (such as the ID, shipping information, and exemption details), import data in JSON format and see the request payload that the service generates.
Below, you can see the steps to access the Tax Service Simulator and an example scenario.
note: Tax Service Simulator is not available for Brazilian scenarios.
For more details on how to access it, please check the official documentation here.
Example: Here’s the scenario of a Canadian domestic sale of material from Alberta to Ontario:
Example: See below the tax results for this example business scenario.
Result: You get a JSON response with exactly what the tax service sends back to your consuming application when it calls the tax service quote endpoint.
For this business scenario, the tax service responded as Regular HST Sales transaction, represented by taxcode 511. In taxValues, only HST tax was returned, with taxTypeCode 2 and dueCategory P, representing a payable position.
