GET/sales_tax
Use this call to retrieve all sales tax table entries that the seller has defined for a specific country. All four response fields will be returned for each tax jurisdiction that matches the search criteria.
Important! In most US states and territories, eBay now 'collects and remits' sales tax, so sellers can no longer configure sales tax rates for these states/territories.
