Yes! Use the calculate_sales_tax tool. Provide the destination country, zip code, and state along with the order amount. Your agent will return the precise tax to be collected.
How do I see in which states I have a tax nexus?
Run the list_nexus_regions query. The agent will retrieve a list of all regions (states or countries) where you have configured a tax nexus in your TaxJar account.
Is it possible to validate a shipping address via AI?
Absolutely. Use the validate_tax_address tool and provide the full address details. The agent will verify the address through TaxJar to ensure it is accurate for tax purposes.
