We do not have an API to create the customer ship-to site party fiscal classification tax profile at this time.  It can only be done via the form or the Customer Interface concurrent program.
The Customer Interface program has been enhanced in 12.2 and the RA_CUSTOMERS_INTERFACE_ALL table has the following columns now.
--FISCAL_CLASS_CATEGORY VARCHAR2 (30)   Party Fiscal Classification type for this party. TCA class category associated to use with this party fiscal classification type.
--FISCAL_CLASS_CODE VARCHAR2 (30)  Party Fiscal Classification code for this party. These are the TCA class category codes associated to use with this party fiscal classification type.

Internet Expenses Enabled' Checkbox Only Visible When Initially Creating Tax Rate. How Can Users Determine Which Tax Rates Are Enabled for OIE? (Doc ID 852315.1)

• When creating a new tax rate, the Internet Expense Enabled box appears so it can be checked for use with Oracle Internet Expenses.
• The Internet expenses enabled check box is available while create Tax rates but is not available when update/change tax rates.
• When attempting to query or update the same tax rate in the rate details screen - the box is no longer present to be updated or viewed.
• It is not possible to determine via the screens if a tax has been enabled for OIE
• Need this feature as Customer has already implement apps and now implementing E-business tax module.Should be in aposition to disable the tax rates appearing in internet expenses.
