This method creates or updates multiple sales-tax table entries.
Sales-tax tables can be set up for countries that support different tax jurisdictions.
Note: Sales-tax tables are only available for the US (EBAY_US) and Canada (EBAY_CA) marketplaces.
Each sales-tax table entry comprises the following parameters:
countryCodejurisdictionIdsalesTaxPercentageshippingAndHandlingTaxed
Valid jurisdiction IDs are retrieved using getSalesTaxJurisdictions in the Metadata API.
For details about using this call, refer to Establishing sales-tax tables.
Important! In the US, eBay now calculates, collects, and remits sales tax to the proper taxing authorities in all 50 states and Washington, DC. Sellers can no longer specify sales-tax rates for these jurisdictions using a tax table.
However, sellers may continue to use a sales-tax table to set rates for the following US territories:
- American Samoa (AS)

- Northern Mariana Islands (MP)
- Palau (PW)
- US Virgin Islands (VI)
