Details

The computation of some taxes requires specific information. In these taxes the Auxiliary property may be used for communication of the required information.

The Miscellaneous property is used in the same manner. However, usage of Auxiliary is less common than Miscellaneous.

Note that your application can use more descriptive labelling when gathering the Auxiliary value. It can retrieve the AuxiliaryTag tax property to get an appropriate field label, rather than using “Auxiliary:“. It can also get helpful text providing a brief description of the field’s purpose by retrieving the AuxiliaryInstructions value for the tax. This description could be used in a tooltip, for example.
