Can it calculate tax for complex multi-item orders?

Yes. The `calculate_sales_tax` tool accepts full order payloads including multiple line items, shipping costs, and customer addresses to return precise tax breakdowns.

What are nexus regions?

A nexus is a state or jurisdiction where your business has a tax obligation. Use `list_nexus_regions` to see where you're registered to collect sales tax.

Does it support sandbox mode?

Yes. TaxJar provides sandbox API tokens for testing. Use a sandbox token to test tax calculations without affecting your live account or generating real transactions.
