Get request. This method returns all tax rates configured on your account. Based on your country selection the endpoint will return all taxes for all countries. You can use the 'filter' parameter to narrow results to selected type of tax. Use 'zip' parameter when you have selected the United States.

We have development an easy to use scheduler so you can call the API to get the rates every hour or day. Please click on the following link to see the code on Github.

Please note in cases when a US state doesn't have sales tax and when a product is tax exempt for a zip code or for a state the API response will be "null"

To get a response you need to have selected a product code in your Taxrates.io dashboard, please see the Introduction section above for description of the different types of product codes.

For US sales tax you can filter the tax rate you want for each state or zip code with one of the following: (they are case sensitive)

• CombinedRate
• StateRate
• CountyRate
• CityRate
• SPDRate
• MTARate

Get request. This method returns all tax rates for country discovered on either your IP address or IP address param. The IP param is not required. When empty, the taxrates.io will try to discover your IP address and based on this will retrieve the tax rates. You can use 'filter' parameter to narrow results to selected type of tax
