 +tl;dr:

 +  * You should only have 1 approach to taxes for your store. You should not mix an external tax provider (TaxJar, AvaTax, OneSource Indirect, custom tax endpoint) with flat rates or the built-in automatic rates. 
 +  * Only set a 3rd-party tax integration at the country level. Details below. 
 +  * You should approach the tax integration as though all products will be sent to your tax service, all the time. If you have product categories that are not taxed, you must map that category in Foxy to an untaxed product type in your tax provider.

 +Basically, you should consider the tax provider to be the authority, and Foxy will do everything it can to ensure that system has all transaction data.
