Tax Environment
Before the system calculates taxes, it determines which taxes apply to the addresses that ship and receive the goods—for example, state sales tax, local tax, and value added tax. A tax environment is a set of tax types that applies to a combination of ship-from and ship-to tax zones and, optionally, a customer or supplier tax class.
Use Tax Environment Maintenance (29.3.1) to define a tax environment for AvaTax. Ensure that you add each of the tax types defined previously to the AvaTax environment.
