Improve application and override of default tax code

Created on 25 October 2018, almost 7 years ago
Updated 18 August 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Avalara AvaTax API automatically uses the default tax code when one is not provided. Forcing the store administrator to explicitly provide the tax code on each product is an unnecessary burden.

Proposed resolution

To simplify product administration, the product edit page "Avatax code" field should be considered an override of the default code and should no longer be a required field. Add help text to the field to indicate a value in the field will override the default value P0000000. Furthermore, calls to the Avalara AvaTax API should not include the tax code unless the product specifies an override value.
