The Sales Tax API provides sales tax calculation in the context of a given transaction, accounting for different types of rates (flat, percentage based) as well as modes (inclusive vs. exclusive). This enables you to get the tax codes and rates upfront and automatically recommend taxes for the US region.
To calculate sales tax, use the indirectTaxCalculateSaleTransactionTax (mutation). For details, see indirectTaxCalculateSaleTransactionTax (mutation) in the API Explorer.
