# Tax Providers

Automate sales tax calculation on transactions through tax providers integrated with Juspay Hyperswitch.

Juspay Hyperswitch integrates with tax calculation providers as a distinct connector category — classified as `TaxCalculationProvider`. Tax providers compute the applicable sales tax for a transaction based on the order details, customer location, and product type, and return the tax amount to be included in the payment.

### How tax calculation works in Hyperswitch

When a tax provider is configured, Hyperswitch calls the tax provider during the payment flow with order and address details. The provider returns the calculated tax amount, which Hyperswitch includes in the transaction before authorization.

### Supported Tax Providers

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hyperswitch.io/integrations/connectors-integrations/tax-providers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
