Application-defined data attached to this tax. Metadata fields are intended to store descriptive references or associations with an entity in another system or store brief information about the object. Square does not process this field; it only stores and returns it in relevant API calls. Do not use metadata to store any sensitive information (such as personally identifiable information or card details).

Keys written by applications must be 60 characters or less and must be in the character set [a-zA-Z0-9_-]. Entries can also include metadata generated by Square. These keys are prefixed with a namespace, separated from the key with a ':' character.

Values have a maximum length of 255 characters.

An application can have up to 10 entries per metadata field.

Entries written by applications are private and can only be read or modified by the same application.

For more information, see Metadata.

The amount of money applied by the tax in the order.

Indicates the level at which the tax applies. For ORDER scoped taxes, Square generates references in applied_taxes on all order line items that do not have them. For LINE_ITEM scoped taxes, the tax only applies to line items with references in their applied_taxes field.

This field is immutable. To change the scope, you must delete the tax and re-add it as a new tax.

Read only Determines whether the tax was automatically applied to the order based on the catalog configuration. For an example, see Automatically Apply Taxes to an Order.
