Zillow API - How to find the property tax? - api

Is there a way to get the most recent amount of property tax paid using the Zillow API? I can obtain the assessed value - just not the amount paid in taxes.
This information is available on the Zillow website in the Tax History section when viewing a property's detail.
Sample property on Zillow - scroll down to Tax History

Zillow gives the year the Tax assessment and the Assessed Value of the home that year. It also provides a link to the county assessors website. Basically this means that you have to find out the Mill Levy amount and then calculate the monthly or yearly taxes from that number. In Colorado this is area by area levy found on the county assessors website, so it may differ in different parts of your city, state and much different between states.
To calculate the property tax, the authority will multiply the assessed value of the property by the mill rate and then divide by 1,000. For example, a property with an assessed value of $50,000 located in a municipality with a mill rate of 20 mills would have a property tax bill of $1,000 per year. ~Wikipedia
Seems like Zillow has this info on their website so they should be able to open that up in their API, but sadly they don't. Makes for a lot of extra work! Good Luck

Total price and price per unit microdata

Currently trying to optimise our e-comm shop and google merchant products and I can't seem to get any further or get any other information on how to display a total price and a price per ct.
Product.
I need to have the total price the customer pays displayed on the website (£100.00) the quantity they'll receive (100 ct), and the price per unit that they pay (£1.00).
But what would the pages microdata and JSON-LD be?
Thanks!
One way to provide that sort of info is to start with the offer and use includesObject which has an amountOfThisGood.
offer
price - 100
includesObject
amountOfThisGood - 100
typeOfGood
type - Product
offer
price - 1
However, I suspect systems including Google will not understand that yet.

Fiscal position implementation in odoo

I have seen one option in odoo accounting "Fiscal Position" under
Accounting => Configuration => Accounting => Fiscal Position
I have checked it's features but I am not really getting at which point of time it's really useful or we can implement it where.
Features are very useful that all about tax and account mapping.
I would like to know it's importance, because I think so it's useful feature in odoo.
In Germany it's a really important feature. For example if you're a german company and sell goods mostly nationallly but sometimes internationally you don't have to take VAT from the customer (internationally), because Germany has double tax agreements with other countries.
But you will configure your Odoo products for the most used case -> national selling. Odoo gets lots of configured data like default tax and default accounts from the chosen product. But selling a product internationally means you have to take other taxes and accounts (in Germany for example!).
You could either handle that manually by changing taxes and accounts in invoices or you can use fiscal positions! Letter one will handle it on a much faster way.
Here a german example:
Product "Software Odoo": default tax 19% VAT, default Account 8400 (german SKR03, don't ask ;-))
Fiscal Position "Not EU":
tax mapping: 19% VAT -> no tax
account mapping: 8400 -> 8120
Creating an invoice for a non EU partner and this fiscal position, will set/map the taxes and accounts on every new invoice line automatically.
Actually that's no programming question and answer, but i've taken too much effort to write this, so i hope it will help you a bit ;-)
Like #CZoellner said.
it's a way to configure odoo to change the taxs automaticly for a partner.
for example by default our taxes 19% but when we deal with import && export partner the taxes are not applicable so instead of removing this taxes manually because as you know when you select a product the taxes are loaded,
by defining the Fiscal position of partner this is don automaticly by odoo (19% tax --> 0% tax).

Amadeus - Command Cryptic - get taxes in country/city

i'm trying to get informations about tax in specific country/city.
I need this because in availability from Amadeus i have price with tax or price without tax never together. Need to know what is net price. So i'm trying to get info about tax in city/country and calculate that on price with tax.
This is my query:
<Command_Cryptic>
<messageAction>
<messageFunctionDetails>
<messageFunction>M</messageFunction>
</messageFunctionDetails>
</messageAction>
<longTextString>
<textStringDetails>FQNTAX/STO</textStringDetails>
</longTextString>
</Command_Cryptic>
But this returns 39 pages :) maybe there is some option to get only hotel taxes with value ? or maybe somehow i can get this in easier way (need net price of reservation) ?

Setting up product purchase cost and selling cost in oscommerce

I'm setting up a oscommerce store for my friends. He gets a product at 48.3 INR and sells at 60 INR . TAX for product is is 12.5%
For this he wants to have proper system to calculate profit
Now when I'm trying to enter product cost in OSC, it has only 2 fields.
Gross and Net.
If I enter 48.3 in Net it shows 54.3375 INR in gross (*TAX). while I need to show 60 INR for that product and calculate profit. Can any one help me about how to this in oscommerce!!
I need to show product cost on product page as 60 INR. and I should be able to input purchase cost somewhere in OSC. So that its possible to calculate profit.
I'm not entirely getting whether its possible in OSC or how to achieve it.
Please help.!
It's very possible. Either you will need to find a preexisting addon that does this or write your own addon. What you have described is simple to implement if you know php and mysql. If you don't then you should hire a programmer to do it for you.

Payroll, OpenERP 7, U.S. payroll taxes

I have searched and searched but to no avail... has anybody created a payroll module for a U.S. based company? It seems that most of what I've seen is that companies are using payroll companies to process their payroll, but I haven't found anybody using OpenERP 7 for hourly employees with the U.S. tax system (it's not a flat tax rate).
It seems like what I may have to do, is create tax table in PostgresQL for federal, state, and local taxes, then reference those tables in the deduction calculation. I read one article on using the vendors/ or suppliers module and implementing a tax structure from that, but then again, those are still flat rates. I have to believe someone else has done this for the U.S. payroll system, and probably done it better than I could as I am fairly new to OpenERP.
I am in the process of doing something similar for LedgerSMB. The thing is that doing this on an open source model is extremely painful business-model-wise. I am working on solutions to that part but that's outside the scope of your question.
In general many US taxes are set up in marginal rates with certain minimums and maximums. For example income tax withholding is a set of marginal rates within tax brackets. Same with FICA and FUMA, but FICA taxes are capped at a certain level, so a simple tax table with rates, minimums, maximums, etc. and then a way of handling deductions to determine the correct line may be sufficient.
But users of most open source ERP's use third party services for payroll.
I have worked in an ERP. How we did is just calculate the FIT in yearly for all the employee and subtract the withholding amount with multiples.
FIT => Taxable Wages Yearly - (No.of withholding(Exemption))
Do the process as per the revision based on single or married only for annually. No need to update all the tables.
Then,
Divided it based on the frequency from the employee table information
EX:
for monthly : FIT/12
for daily : FIT/365
For SIT you have to use based on the document in the state usine case function.
