Configure Anrok Tax Calculation Data

Anrok calculates tax using information from your Maxio site, product catalog, customer records, and Anrok account. Use this article to prepare the data Anrok needs before you create taxable subscriptions or Contracts.

Configure the tax origin address

Your tax origin address represents where your business operates from. Anrok uses the origin address to determine sourcing rules for each transaction.

1. Go to Taxes.
2. Next to Tax Origin Address, click Edit (or Set Your Tax Address if none is set yet).
3. Enter a full address (Address 1, City, State/Province, Country, Postal Code).

Without a valid origin address, Anrok calls fail.

Configure taxable plans, products, and items

Mark Plans, Products, or Components as taxable in Advanced Billing by selecting This product is subject to taxes (or This component is subject to taxes) on the Plan/Product/Component form. On Maxio Core, mark an Item as Taxable.

On Maxio Core, an Item also needs to be linked to a corresponding Advanced Billing item before Anrok can calculate tax on it. This link is created by the Send Items step in your Advanced Billing sync settings, which sends any Item without an existing link to Advanced Billing as a Component. Run or enable this sync step so your taxable Items are linked before you rely on Anrok to calculate tax for them.

Only taxable line items are included in the request Maxio sends to Anrok.

Assign plan tax categories in Anrok

Unlike a per-item tax-code field maintained in Maxio, Anrok categorizes what you sell inside its own interface. After your Plan/Product catalog first syncs to Anrok, review the imported list and assign each Plan or Product to a Plan Type and Tax Category directly in Anrok. See Set Up Anrok in Maxio Invoicing Suite.

On Maxio Core, an Item needs an existing link to an Advanced Billing item before Anrok can calculate tax on it.

Collect customer address details

Customer shipping and billing addresses are captured in Maxio. Your site's tax address option determines which address Maxio sends to Anrok.

• For shipping-based tax settings, collect a complete shipping address.
• For billing-based tax settings, collect complete billing address details on the payment profile or signup form.
• For mixed address settings, keep both shipping and billing addresses complete.

Address fallback behavior

For mixed address options, Maxio can retry with the alternate address if Anrok rejects the primary address.

• Shipping then billing: Maxio uses shipping first and can retry with billing.
• Billing then shipping: Maxio uses billing first and can retry with shipping.
• Shipping address only: Maxio uses the customer shipping address.
• Billing address only: Maxio uses the payment billing address.

For best results, keep customer shipping and billing addresses complete and standardized.

Apply customer exemptions

Tax exemption is typically used for resellers, government agencies, non-profits, or other entities that qualify under jurisdictional rules. Exemption status is managed in Anrok and respected on Maxio invoices.

Confirm the customer's billing or shipping address in Maxio matches the address used in Anrok so Anrok can match the transaction to the exempt customer.
