Dashboard or API — choosing your path

The dashboard is the no-code way to use TaxLens. It's the right starting point for everyone, and the home base for finance and operations teams. From it you can:

• calculate tax for any stay and inspect the full breakdown;
• register properties and let TaxLens map them to jurisdictions;
• save bookings, issue invoices and credit notes, and process refunds;
• pull tax-liability reports and export them for filing;
• manage your team, legal entities, and API keys.

The Dashboard guide walks through every screen.

The API is how you wire TaxLens into your own systems — a booking engine that needs tax at checkout, a PMS that issues invoices automatically, a back office that syncs liability into your accounting stack. It exposes the same engine and the same e-invoicing system of record the dashboard uses.

The API integration guide covers authentication, the calculate and booking endpoints, e-invoicing, and reporting — with runnable examples. For the exhaustive endpoint-by-endpoint schema, use the API Reference page in the left app navigation.

The two share one source of truth. A booking created via the API appears in the dashboard; an invoice issued in the dashboard is retrievable via the API. Pick whichever fits each task.
