# List all sales-tax codes

`GET /quickbooks-desktop/sales-tax-codes`

Returns a list of sales-tax codes.

**NOTE:** QuickBooks Desktop does not support pagination for sales-tax codes; hence, there is no `cursor` parameter. Users typically have few sales-tax codes.

## Query parameters

- `ids` string[] — Filter for specific sales-tax codes by their QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier(s). **IMPORTANT**: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request. **NOTE**: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.
- `names` string[] — Filter for specific sales-tax codes by their name(s), case-insensitive. Like `id`, `name` is a unique identifier for a sales-tax code. **IMPORTANT**: If you include this parameter, QuickBooks will ignore all other query parameters for this request. **NOTE**: If any of the values you specify in this parameter are not found, the request will return an error.
- `limit` integer — The maximum number of objects to return. **IMPORTANT**: QuickBooks Desktop does not support cursor-based pagination for sales-tax codes. This parameter will limit the response size, but you cannot fetch subsequent results using a cursor. For pagination, use the name-range parameters instead (e.g., `nameFrom=A&nameTo=B`). When this parameter is omitted, the endpoint returns all sales-tax codes without limit, unlike paginated endpoints which default to 150 records. This is acceptable because sales-tax codes typically have low record counts.
- `status` 'active' | 'all' | 'inactive' — Filter for sales-tax codes that are active, inactive, or both.
- `updatedAfter` string — Filter for sales-tax codes updated on or after this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **start of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T00:00:00`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
- `updatedBefore` string — Filter for sales-tax codes updated on or before this date/time. Accepts the following ISO 8601 formats: - **date-only** (YYYY-MM-DD) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the date as the **end of the specified day** in the local timezone of the end-user's computer (e.g., `2025-01-01` → `2025-01-01T23:59:59`). - **datetime without timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp in the local timezone of the end-user's computer. - **datetime with timezone** (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm) - QuickBooks Desktop interprets the timestamp using the specified timezone.
- `nameContains` string — Filter for sales-tax codes whose `name` contains this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameStartsWith` or `nameEndsWith`.
- `nameStartsWith` string — Filter for sales-tax codes whose `name` starts with this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameContains` or `nameEndsWith`.
- `nameEndsWith` string — Filter for sales-tax codes whose `name` ends with this substring, case-insensitive. **NOTE**: If you use this parameter, you cannot also use `nameContains` or `nameStartsWith`.
- `nameFrom` string — Filter for sales-tax codes whose `name` is alphabetically greater than or equal to this value.
- `nameTo` string — Filter for sales-tax codes whose `name` is alphabetically less than or equal to this value.

## Headers

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

## Response `200`

Returns a list of sales-tax codes.

- object
  - `objectType` 'list', required — The type of object. This value is always `"list"`.
  - `url` string, required — The endpoint URL where this list can be accessed.
  - `data` QbdSalesTaxCode[], required — The array of sales-tax codes.
    - `id` string, required — The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this sales-tax code. This ID is unique across all sales-tax codes but not across different QuickBooks object types.
    - `objectType` 'qbd_sales_tax_code', required — The type of object. This value is always `"qbd_sales_tax_code"`.
    - `createdAt` string, required — The date and time when this sales-tax code 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 code 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 code 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 code, unique across all sales-tax codes. This short name will appear on sales forms to identify the tax status of an item. **NOTE**: Sales-tax codes 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.
    - `isActive` boolean, required — Indicates whether this sales-tax code is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to `true`.
    - `isTaxable` boolean, required — Indicates whether this sales-tax code is tracking taxable sales. This field cannot be modified once the sales-tax code has been used in a transaction.
    - `description` string, nullable, required — A description of this sales-tax code.
    - `salesTaxItem` object, nullable, required — The sales-tax item used to calculate the actual tax amount for this sales-tax code's transactions by applying a specific tax rate collected for a single tax agency. Unlike `salesTaxCode`, which only indicates general taxability, this field drives the actual tax calculation and reporting.
      - `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.
