Looks like you are calling the Add function, instead of Update?

Does it work if you replace this:

try{
    $resultingTaxRateObj = $dataService->Add($taxRateObject);
}

with this:

try{
    $resultingTaxRateObj = $dataService->Update($taxRateObject);
}

@amitcorcrm I will put a Facade class member for TaxService in the release after next Monday release. I am currently busy with a new Release right now for PHP SDK, I will write a TaxService Example here and in the _Samples folder.

@markwoods241 Thanks for reply. I have tried to used Update() function instead of Add() function, but still it was not working it throw below error

@hlu2 Thanks for the update, please notify me when you release that Facade class member for TaxService.

@amitcorcrm Hi, all I have created the TaxRate and TaxService Facade on v3.3.0; however, I was told that on the API, you cannot change the TaxRate or TaxCode, it is only available for UI. If you want to change, just create a new one. I have sent an E-mail to QBO team to verify it. Will update here once I get replied.

[hlu2]

@all I just confirmed from QBO Team: TaxCode and TaxRate are NOT EDITABLE THROUGH API, ONLY EDITABLE in the UI. That means, it is not a supported function in the PHP SDK as well. Also, from API, you can only delete Tax codes.

If you really want to change the value, instead of editing the existed one, creating a new one should resolve your issue.
