The TaxCloud integration allows you to calculate the sales tax for every address in the United States and keeps track of which product types are exempt from sales tax and in which states each exemption applies. TaxCloud calculates sales tax in real-time for every state, city, and special jurisdiction in the United States.

Hoe het werkt
Automatic tax assignation works thanks to fiscal positions (see Hoe belastingen aanpassen aan de klantstatus of locatie). A specific fiscal position is created when installing TaxCloud. Everything works out-of-the-box.
This fiscal position is set on any sales order, web order, or invoice when the customer country is United States. This is triggering the automated tax computation.
Add a product with a default sales tax. Odoo will automatically send a request to TaxCloud, get the correct tax percentage based on the customer location (state and zip code) and product TIC category, create a new tax rate if that tax percentage does not already exist in your system and return it in the order item line (e.g. 7.0%).
Hoe specifieke tax mappings aanmaken met TaxCloud
You can create several fiscal positions using TaxCloud. Check Use TaxCloud API to do so. Such fiscal postions can be assigned to customers in their detail form in order to get them by default whenever they buy you something.
