Tax Codes
The Taxes API allow external parties to Create, Read, Update, and Delete a companies tax codes within Pleo.
They are used to calculate the tax for each expense for proper reporting. A tax code is linked to a category (type of spend defined by the user), so all spend classified within this category will have a default tax code attached to it.
As part of the review process for expense before exporting from Pleo, a bookkeeper is able to change this tax code manually if the default tax code is not correct or if the expense needs multiple tax rates according to the line items of the purchase.
