Scenario 1: Full or Partial Refund

You can refund a tax calculation request before requesting an authorization if you have access to the original transaction data. For example:

Refund the full or partial amount of the original transaction.

If the refund is successful, request the tax calculation service for the refunded item(s) and include the refund indicator by using the

taxInformation.refundIndicator

field set to

true

.

IMPORTANT

To ensure the same tax rate as the original transaction, use the invoice date of the original transaction in the

orderInformation.invoiceDetails.invoiceDate

field.

NOTE

You can include the commit indicator by setting the

taxInformation.commitIndicator

field to

true

to indicate when the refund was successfully processed in the Tax Detail Report.
