Sale.taxCategoryID must be set. For no sales tax set taxCategoryID to zero.

To resolve this error, please select a default sales tax under Shop Settings in Lightspeed Retail:

1. In Lightspeed Retail navigate to "Settings".

5. Select "Save Changes"

Note: When utilizing the Lightspeed Retail API "None" is not a valid Default Sales Tax. Setting up and selecting a "No Tax" Sales Tax as your Shop's default will work if you need to select a 0% default tax.
