# Retrieve a sales-tax group item

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/sales-tax-group-items/{id}`

Retrieves a sales-tax group item by ID.

**IMPORTANT:** If you need to fetch multiple specific sales-tax group items by ID, use the list endpoint instead with the `ids` parameter. It accepts an array of IDs so you can batch the request into a single call, which is significantly faster.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the sales-tax group item to retrieve.

## Headers

- `Conductor-End-User-Id` string, required — The ID of the End-User to receive this request.

## Response `200`

Returns the specified sales-tax group item.

- QbdSalesTaxGroupItem
  - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this sales-tax group item. This ID is unique across all sales-tax group items but not across different QuickBooks object types.
  - `objectType` 'qbd_sales_tax_group_item', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_sales_tax_group_item"`.
  - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this sales-tax group item was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
  - `updatedAt` string, required — The date and time when this sales-tax group item was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
  - `revisionNumber` string, required — The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this sales-tax group item object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent `revisionNumber` to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.
  - `name` string, required — The case-insensitive unique name of this sales-tax group item, unique across all sales-tax group items. **NOTE**: Sales-tax group items do not have a `fullName` field because they are not hierarchical objects, which is why `name` is unique for them but not for objects that have parents.
  - `barcode` string, nullable, required — The sales-tax group item's barcode.
  - `isActive` boolean, required — Indicates whether this sales-tax group item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`.
  - `description` string, nullable, required — The sales-tax group item's description that will appear on sales forms that include this item.
  - `externalId` string, nullable, required — A globally unique identifier (GUID) you, the developer, can provide for tracking this object in your external system. This field is immutable and can only be set during object creation.
  - `salesTaxItems` object[], required — The sales-tax items that make up this sales-tax group item. QuickBooks Desktop applies these sales-tax items together as one tax selection while tracking each sales tax separately.
    - `id` string, nullable, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this object. This ID is unique across all objects of the same type, but not across different QuickBooks object types.
    - `fullName` string, nullable, required — The fully-qualified unique name for this object, formed by combining the names of its parent objects with its own `name`, separated by colons. Not case-sensitive.
  - `customFields` QbdCustomField[], required — The custom fields for the sales-tax group item object, added as user-defined data extensions, not included in the standard QuickBooks object.
    - `ownerId` string, required — The identifier of the owner of the custom field, which QuickBooks internally calls a "data extension". For public custom fields visible in the UI, such as those added by the QuickBooks user, this is always "0". For private custom fields that are only visible to the application that created them, this is a valid GUID identifying the owning application. Internally, Conductor always fetches all public custom fields (those with an `ownerId` of "0") for all objects.
    - `name` string, required — The name of the custom field, unique for the specified `ownerId`. For public custom fields, this name is visible as a label in the QuickBooks UI.
    - `type` 'amount_type' | 'date_time_type' | 'integer_type' | 'percent_type' | 'price_type' | 'quantity_type' | 'string_1024_type' | 'string_255_type', required — The data type of this custom field.
    - `value` string, required — The value of this custom field. The maximum length depends on the field's data type.
