Details

The computation of some taxes requires special information fields. In these taxes the Miscellaneous property may be used for communication of the required information.

The Auxiliary 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 Miscellaneous value. It can retrieve the MiscellaneousTag tax property to get an appropriate field label, rather than using “Miscellaneous:“. It can also get helpful text providing a brief description of the field’s purpose by retrieving the MiscellaneousInstructions value for the tax. This description could be used in a tooltip, for example.
