Only 1 element allowed per Tax Policy. A tax/fee description is optional and can be used to provide additional information. However, the description is required when there is more than one TaxPolicy with the same Code and ChargeUnit are active at the same time. In this scenario, each of the similar tax policies must include a description that will allow a consumer to distinguish between them. Tax policies are active at the same time if they have overlapping effective dates or if one or more does not have effective dates specified (i.e. it is always active).
