Taxify Troubleshooting
Overview
If you encounter a Taxify error, use the table below to find a potential solution:
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Simpro Premium has encountered an error contacting Taxify. Please try again later or contact Simpro support if the issue persists. | Error encountered while communicating with Taxify's API. | Contact Simpro support. |
| Please enter a valid site address for $siteName and try again. | No site address has been entered. | Check that the site address contains the correct Address, City, and State. |
| All cost centres on this job are locked or have an adjusted price, and tax cannot be calculated. Please unlock one or more cost centre(s) and try again. | All of the cost centres are either locked, or have an adjusted price. | Unlock the cost centre, or remove the adjusted price before calculating. |
| Could not verify address. Please check this address and try again. | Taxify cannot verify the address. | Check that the site address contains the correct Address, City, and State. |
| An error has occurred while calculating tax. This has been reported to Simpro Premium. Tax cannot be calculated for this job. | A tax rate that is not expected was received from Taxify, and cannot be applied. | Contact Simpro support. |
| This address could not be verified. | Taxify has provided an approximate match for the address. | Accept the address supplied by Taxify, or edit the site address to make sure it's correct. |
| Sub-total on the tax calculation modal does not match sub-total on the job. | Taxify could not calculate tax on all cost centres and has excluded items where tax could not be calculated. | Unlock any locked cost centres on the job, and edit the site address to make sure it is correct. |
| Sub-total on the tax calculation modal does not match sub-total on the job, and the job has a discount, fee or membership discount. | Taxify has calculated tax excluding discounts, fees and membership discounts. These are applied after tax calculation is complete and confirmed. | |
| Tax on the tax calculation modal does not match the tax on the job after tax has been confirmed, by just a few cents. | Taxify has calculated an approximation. Once the tax is confirmed and applied to the job it may differ by a few cents due to rounding. | |
| To ensure transactions are correctly posted to your accounting package, please make sure the tax codes in Simpro Premium match the tax codes in your accounting package. | Not all Taxify tax codes have tax codes entered against them in System |
Ensure that your accounting package tax codes are entered into the Taxify tax codes in System Setup before posting transactions. |
If Taxify returns a tax value that is different than expected:
| Cause | Solution |
|---|---|
| Incorrect origin address details in Taxify | Contact Simpro Support to update your origin address. |
| Incorrect taxability code setup | Confirm that the Taxability code selected in customers, system setup defaults and against catalog items, pre-builds, labor rates, service fees, prepaid blocks, one-off items, and memberships used on the job are correct before calculating tax again. |
| Incorrect site address | Check site address in Simpro Premium and edit to ensure it is correct before calculating tax again. |
