limitinteger

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.

Example:10

The maximum number of objects to return.

status'active' | 'all' | 'inactive'

Filter for sales-tax codes that are active, inactive, or both.

Example:active

Filter for sales-tax codes that are active, inactive, or both.
