TaxRate
On this page
A rate of tax, as a percentage that can't be below zero: 20%.
Use it for VAT or sales tax. For any other percentage, use Percentage. For a discount, use Discount.
Shape
One Percentage, never below 0.
Example
TaxRate(20%)A value outside its limits breaks min or max.
text.parse(raw, as: TaxRate) reads one from text that comes from outside. Text that isn't one at all fails malformed, such as 20, 0.2 or twenty percent.
Good to know
==tells you whether two are the same, and<andlist.sort_bycompare and sort them.
In JSON
A string, in a request, a response or json.write:
"0%""5%""20%"
Details
Text form, storage, how it is shown, and operations
TaxRate is in the group Money and banking, and has been in Jadpo since 0.1.0.
Text form
text.from writes one standard text form, the same form text.parse reads back: 0%, 5% and 20%.
How it is stored
It is stored in one column named for the field, of type numeric. 5% is stored as 0.05.
How it is shown to people
text.format(value, locale:) shows it to people in their locale.
With locale: Locale.en_gb:
| Value | Shown |
|---|---|
0% |
0% |
5% |
5% |
20% |
20% |
Operations
It also takes text.parse, text.from, text.format, json.read, json.write and ==. How every standard type behaves says how they work.
