"Charge Sales Tax" not in API docs

1

Hey guys,

I noticed the ability to set the VAT setting for a contact isn’t documented
in the API. It turns out it can be set using “charge_sales_tax” (guessed it
by looking at FreeAgent source for edit contact) as a key with a value of
-1, 0 or 1.

This would be useful to note on the API documentation,

Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,

It looks like that is missing from the documentation, but I would strongly
recommend against passing an integer into that field. Instead can I suggest
that you pass a string constant, which will be correctly handled by our API.

charge_sales_tax can be one of “Auto”, “Always” or “Never”.

I’ll get that documented to save others from digging around in the form
markup in future!

Cheers,
Paul.
