Auxiliary

The computation of some taxes requires specific information not used by many calculations. In these taxes the Auxiliary property may be used for communication of the required information.

Syntax

value = object.

object. value

Part Description
object A TaxControl object.
value A float result/expression.

Note that your application can use descriptive labelling when gathering the Auxiliary value on an input form. It can retrieve the AuxiliaryTag tax property to get an appropriate field label, rather than using “Auxiliary”.

It can also get helpful text providing a brief description of the field’s purpose by retrieving the AuxiliaryInstructions value for the tax. This description could be used in a tooltip (such as an HTML input field’s title attribute), for example.
