Hello,

Thank you for reaching out. The tax rate returned by the API is the combined tax rate for the specific location that you provide in your request. This includes the state, county, and city taxes, if applicable.

For example, if you provide a location in New York City, the API will return the combined tax rate for that location, which includes the state tax, the city tax, and any applicable local taxes.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
