This enumeration type defines the sales tax types that may be collected by eBay and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority for a given line item in an order. Although not all sales tax is subject to be collected and remitted by eBay, this type is only used by the eBayCollectAndRemitTaxes container, so all of these tax types will be subject to 'Collect and Remit'.
