Retrieve a sales-tax group item

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.

get/quickbooks-desktop/sales-tax-group-items/{id}

The QuickBooks-assigned unique identifier of the sales-tax group item to retrieve.

Response

idstring 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".

createdAtstring required

updatedAtstring 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.

revisionNumberstring 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.

namestring 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.

The sales-tax group item's barcode.

isActiveboolean required

Indicates whether this sales-tax group item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to true.
