# TaxLine Channel Liable REST-API Improvement

As of the 2024-01 version of the REST Order APIs, `channel_liable field` on the `TaxLine` has been updated to reflect the value indicated by the app. The behaviors now align between the REST and GraphQL endpoints.

The `channel_liable` field lets developers inform merchants that another party is responsible for sales tax remittance, which then helps merchants better understand the tax that they are responsible for.

`channel_liable` can contain the following values:

* `true` indicates that the channel is responsible for remittance of the tax line
* `false` indicates that the channel is not responsible for remittance of the tax line

If the `channel_liable` field is not populated, a value of `false` will be assumed.
