A refund tax calculation is a request that sets the transaction type field in the Tax Detail Report to refunded and makes the reported amount negative. Tax amounts are returned as positive amounts in response messages, but they are saved in reports as negative amounts. The tax software enables you to accurately calculate the aggregate amounts.
You can also commit a refund tax calculation to include the refunded tax amount with a payment refund.
