Orders in Toast Takeout and the Toast local ordering website remit marketplace facilitator tax payments

Orders created by the Toast Takeout ordering app and the Toast local ordering website now remit tax payments for restaurants as marketplace facilitators. The facilitatorCollectAndRemitTax value in the AppliedTaxRate object for order items indicates whether the tax payment was remitted by a marketplace facilitator on behalf of the restaurant. If your integration uses detailed tax payment information, this change might affect the way you handle orders API response data for some restaurant locations.

The Toast platform change that handles tax payments as marketplace facilitator tax payments for Toast Takeout and Toast local orders is in limited release. Not all Toast platform restaurants are configured to use Toast Takeout and the Toast local ordering site as marketplace facilitators.
