API create event "event.tax_settings" error for Chicago events only

[garm...@gmail.com]

Summarize Problem: 

I'm publishing event for three cities, only creating events in Chicago fails with the following error:

publish result: {"status_code":400,"error_detail":{"ARGUMENTS_ERROR":{"event.tax_settings":["EVENT_TAX_SETTINGS_MISSING"]}},"error_description":"There are errors with your arguments: event.tax_settings - EVENT_TAX_SETTINGS_MISSING","error":"ARGUMENTS_ERROR"}

"event.tax_settings"   is not documented in API, absolutely no documentation and no clue what to do.

What have you already tried?

I've tried publishing the exact same event to any other city and that succeeds. Chicago has some new "city tax". 

When I make the call I pass the "standard"  parameters to create the event - this works 100% for all cities except Chicago

API call parameters are:

array(

'event.name.html'   => $eventModel->name,

'event.description.html' => $event_html_description,

'event.start.utc'   => $startdatetime,

'event.start.timezone'  => $time_zone,

'event.end.utc'    => $enddatetime,

'event.end.timezone'  => $time_zone ,

'event.currency'  => $currency,

'event.organizer_id' => $organizerId,

...

)

Just for Chicago I've tried adding 

'event.tax_settings' => 'yes' 

still doesn't work

Describe the expected results:

HTTP 200 and event published

Also tried 

['event.tax_settings'] = array('eb_tax' => 1, 'org_tax' => 0);

Didn't work

Hey there! 

Unfortunately, there is not a method for setting tax_settings via our public API at this time. 

I am sorry I don't have a better offering for you at this time.

Hi Nathan, thanks for the reply, just want to clarify

Does it mean there is no way to publish an event in Chicago through API?

Is there a way to set the tax settings on the account profile manually (by manually 

logging in to the account and setting the value)? So the next time I publish an event on that 

Organizer Account/profile through API, I don't get the error.

Thanks

Hi All,

I have the same issue for Germany. It seems like this was alrady asked 5 years ago but no answer so far.
