Zones

Determination segments the world into geographical areas called zones. This segmentation enables you to associate particular tax authorities, and therefore rules and rates, with transactions that take place in those zones.

Zone levels

Match addresses to zones

Determination matches zones to the address data provided in the XML input.
  • IF a
    single zone matches
     the submitted data, that zone's applied.
  • If multiple zones match the submitted data and a default zone can be applied, a
    Partial Zone Tree Match
     message is returned and the calculation continues.
  • If multiple zones match the submitted data and no default can be applied, a
    Multiple Zone Tree Match
     severe error's returned and the calculation terminates.
  • If not enough data's supplied in the address to match any zone
    , a severe error's returned and the calculation terminates.
note
Zone matches are exact. For example, passing the city, Roma, in a transaction won't match the city, Rome.
