When I pass latitude / longitude on GetTax requests, why do I get an error message in AvaTax?
Overview
I am trying to get a tax calculation from lat / lon (52.545102, 13.432883) in Germany. However I am getting an error message: Geocoding error Address is incomplete or invalid.
Environment
Avalara AvaTax
Resolution
- Latitude and Longitude for international countries are not supported by AvaTax at this writing.
- Only United "States" jurisdictions are supported
- GetTax request using Latitude and Longitude for outside US locations cannot be geocoded, at this time, from any custom system or ERP
- US Territorial jurisdictions are not included in the coverage at this writing.
- If the coordinates are within the continental US, they coordinates must contain the information below:
- City, State, Zip Code, Country
- If the lat/long coordinates pinpoint to a location that is missing one of these entries, you can see the Geocoded error
