Taxability Information Codes
If you are developer, we recommend against "hard-coding" TIC values within your solution (except for possibly "Shipping Charges," TIC: 11010 or "Shipping and Handling," TIC: 11000) because the variety of TICs available will expand over time as states enact or repeal various product or use-based exemptions. For this reason, TaxCloud provides access to our TICs in several "live feed" formats that allow you to dynamically consume and display this list within your product or platform.
An important step in setting up your connection is assigning the correct Taxability Information Codes (TICs) to the goods and/or services that you sell. These codes enable TaxCloud to apply accurate:
  • sales and use tax rates
  • product and service exemptions
  • sales tax holidays
To ensure your customers are charged the correct tax rates and benefit from any available exemptions, you need to select an appropriate TIC for each category of items you sell. If you primarily sell one class of goods, you can also set a default TIC for your connection/website.

TIC Feeds
TaxCloud serves up dynamic TIC feeds in the following formats. If you would like to request another format be made available, please let us know.
The information below is intended for software and web developers. Each of these content feeds have appropriate content-type headers set (so your web browser may not recognize the content type). To use, select the URL of the feed syntax you would like to use, then copy-and-paste into your development environment.
