OrderLineItemTax

Unique ID that identifies the tax only within this order.

The catalog object id referencing CatalogTax.

The tax's name.

Indicates the calculation method used to apply the tax.

The percentage of the tax, as a string representation of a decimal number. For example, a value of "7.25" corresponds to a percentage of 7.25%.

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 (personally identifiable information, card details, etc.).

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

Values have a max length of 255 characters.

An application may 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.

See Metadata for more information.

The amount of the 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 will only apply 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.
