+Manage Your Sales Tax with TaxCloud API
+=======================================
+
+The **TaxCloud** module allows you to calculate the sales tax for every
+address in United States and keeps track of which type of products are
+exempt from sales tax and in which states each exemption applies.
+TaxCloud calculates sales tax in real-time for every state, city, and
+special jurisdiction in the United States.
+
+Configuration

+---------------------------
+
+In the **Accounting** module, click on :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`.

+tax automatically using TaxCloud**.

+
+Company configuration
+---------------------
+
+In order to compute the right tax rate, the provider needs your company
+information. Be sure your address and default TIC category are correctly
+encoded.
+
+.. image:: media/taxcloud04.png
+  :align: center
+
+Set default TIC category on your company. This ensures if you are
+selling the same TIC category product you aren’t required to fill the
+TIC on each product or in case of a missing TIC category on product it
+will automatically reference the default category for your company.
+

+
+To check your information, go to the **Settings** app and click on
+**General Settings.** Click on the first link **Configure your company
+data.**
+
+Product configuration
+---------------------
+
+Set the correct sales tax and TIC category on the product. The main
+taxes are automatically configured according to the chart of accounts
+for the US.
+
+If you want to set a specific tax rate on a product, you can set the
+sales tax on the **product form** under the **Accounting** tab.

+
+The main fiscal positions are automatically created for TaxCloud in the
+**US** by default but you may need to create fiscal position for specific
+user cases.
+
+To define fiscal position:
+
+-   Navigate to the **Accounting** app
+
+-   Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Fiscal Position`
+
+-   Default fiscal position (country) is already set to US (you can
+    define the fiscal position in the Customer Form of the
+    **Accounting tab**).
+
+For more information on fiscal position, see the Odoo documentation on
+:doc:`application`.
+
+Manage your sales tax
+=====================
+
+Get sales tax automatically by TaxCloud
+---------------------------------------
+
+When the fiscal position(tax mapping on fiscal position) is applied
+(automatically) on a sales order, web order, or invoices it will send a
+request to TaxCloud and return a sales tax calculation.
+
+For example, to get sales tax automatically on a sales order: in the
+menu click :menuselection:`Sales --> Sales orders` and create new sales order. 
+Select a customer in the United States and TaxCloud will automatically
+apply the US fiscal position on the sales order.
+

+
+Add product with sales tax on an order line and Odoo will automatically
+send a request to TaxCloud, get the correct tax percentage based on the
+customer’s State and Product TIC category, create new a new tax rate if
+that tax percentage does not already exist on your list and return the
+new tax rate (example: 7.0%).
+
+.. image:: media/taxcloud10.png
+  :align: center
+
+You can also add a tax mapping line on the fiscal position with the new
+tax. Odoo will check if the tax exists for the customer State and
+product TIC category in the fiscal position mapping line and if it does
+not exist it will send a request to TaxCloud to retrieve the new tax
+rate.
