The problem

Old tax rules quietly change your calculations

Custom tax rules pile up over the years in Avalara AvaTax. They overlap or expire unnoticed and silently change how tax is calculated.

Without PopdockAI

  • Export the tax rules
  • Check end dates by hand
  • Look for overlapping and broad rules
  • Find out when a calculation looks wrong

With PopdockAI

  • Tax rules and their tax codes are read
  • Ended and ending rules are flagged
  • Overlapping and overly broad rules are found
  • Nothing is added or deleted

Prompt
**Objective:** Review the custom tax rules for `{company}`, for `{region}` if given, as of today.

**Step 1: Read the rules**

Call `avalara-avatax-get-tax-rule` with `company` and `region` when provided. Read `tax-rule-type`, `tax-code`, `jurisdiction-name`, `tax-type-group`, `value`, `threshold`, `cap`, `effective-date` and `end-date`.

**Step 2: Resolve tax codes**

For each distinct `tax-code` that appears, call `avalara-avatax-get-tax-code` with `tax-code` set to it to get its `description` and whether it is `active`.

**Step 3: Assess**

* Rules whose `end-date` is in the past (ended) or within 60 days (ending).
* Rules not yet effective.
* Two rules for the same jurisdiction, tax code and tax type group with overlapping dates.
* Rules with no `tax-code` (they apply to everything in the jurisdiction) or with a `value` of 0.
* Rules pointing at an inactive tax code.

**Step 4: Report**

Group by status (active, ending, ended, future) and list the flagged rules with the reason. Add a one-line plain explanation of each rule type present.

**Validation:**

* If there are no rules, say that only standard AvaTax calculation applies.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* This prompt is read-only. Call only the `avalara-avatax-get-*` tools named above. Never call any avalara-avatax tool that adds, updates, deletes, commits, uncommits, voids, unvoids, adjusts, refunds, locks, settles or creates anything.
* Report what the data shows. Do not guess values the tools did not return, and say so when a field came back empty.
* Use `max-records` to keep each read small, and say when a result may be truncated by it.
