It is possible for a customer account to be tax exempt. If you set Tax Exempt to Yes, you must enter a certificate ID or an entity/use code. Specifying either Pending Verification or No are equivalent, and will apply taxes for this account.

For more information about tax exemption certificates, refer to the following documentation from Zuora partner Avalara: Exemption Certificate Survival Guide.

For more information about entity/use codes, refer to the following documentation from Zuora partner Avalara: Exempt Transactions.
