Field

TaxJurisdiction ( TaxJurisdictionType ) [0..*]
In a SetTaxTable, a TaxJurisdiction container is required for each tax jurisdiction that the seller wishes to make additions/changes. Sales tax details for zero or more jurisdictions (states, provinces, etc). This can be just one jurisdiction, up to all jurisdictions defined for the site's country. Any values specified through a TaxJurisdiction container will override any existing values defined in the seller's Sales Tax Table.

If GetTaxTable is called without the DetailLevel field, only tax jurisdictions where sales tax rates have been set up are returned. However, if the DetailLevel field is included in the request and set to ReturnAll, all tax jurisdictions are returned, regardless of whether or not the seller has modified settings for any/all of these jurisdictions.

This container is only returned in order-related 'Get' calls if sales tax is applicable to the order line item.

Note: Buyers in all 50 US states and DC are automatically charged sales tax for eBay purchases, and eBay collects and remits this sales tax to the proper taxing authority on the buyer's behalf. Because of this, if a sales tax percentage rate is applied to a listing by a seller in one of these states, this field will be ignored during the checkout process.

Currently, sales tax percentage rates can only be specified by sellers in Canada and 5 US territories, including American Samoa (AS), Guam (GU), Northern Mariana Islands (MP), Palau (PW), and Virgin Islands (VI).
