Read an existing instance.

One property-authored tax rule: jurisdiction, what it applies to (a USALI bucket, one retained-payment system_charge_kind, or an F&B tax_class — exactly one), percent / flat-per-night / per-person basis, inclusive/exclusive posture, an optional long-stay reduced value, and an effective-date window. The night audit derives each room posting’s tax_application lines from the rooms rules active on the audited business date; a forfeited deposit, cancellation fee or no-show charge is taxed only by a rule targeting its kind. Rules sharing a code and a target form a non-overlapping succession timeline (a rate change end-dates the predecessor and mints the successor).

id
required
string format: uuid

Object id (UUID v7, server-generated at create time).

branch
string format: uuid

Read through an open branch’s copy-on-first-write overlay view instead of the canonical (main) plane. Does not compose with as_of (422). The branch must exist under the caller’s tenant.

boolean
jurisdiction
required
Taxing jurisdiction (e.g. `US-NY-NYC`, `DE`)
string
rate
Rate for `percent` rules (decimal in [0, 1]; 0.10 = 10%). Required on percent rules, forbidden on flat rules
string format: decimal
reduced_after_nights
`percent` rooms rules only: from the night after this many nights of a continuous stay, the rule taxes only `reduced_value_share` of the night's value (the UK 28-day rule)
integer
reduced_value_share
The share of a long-stay night's value the rule still taxes (decimal in (0, 1]; 0.20 = the UK's 20% facilities minimum)
string format: decimal
system_charge_kind
The retained payment this rule taxes (forfeited deposit, cancellation fee, no-show fee, no-show revenue) — what the house keeps for a stay that did not happen. Nothing taxes one of these unless a rule targets its kind. Percent and inclusive only
string
Allowed values: forfeited_deposit cancellation_fee no_show_fee no_show_revenue
tax_class
The F&B tax class this rule taxes (an `item_class.tax_class` code — Standard, Cold food, Children's meal). Percent only. A check line takes every rule in force for its class on the check's business date
string
provenance

Per-property source attribution and pins. An entry under properties means the property’s current value came from that source (on the source’s own clock, source_updated_at); an entry under pins is a human override protecting the property from sourced writes.

ETag
string
/^"\d+"$/

Quoted strong validator (RFC 7232 §2.3) carrying the object’s monotonic version. Informational on the read path — object mutation goes through typed actions on /v1/actions/{action}/apply, not raw CRUD.

No object with that id (or soft-deleted).
