Field	Type	Presence	Description and constraints
`$`	object	Root	The amount of the tax rate when the `rate_type`` is `flat_amount`. Tax rates with `rate_type` `percentage` can vary based on the transaction, resulting in this field being `null`. This field exposes the amount and currency of the flat tax rate.

`amount (anyOf 1)`	integer	Alternative	Amount of the tax when the `rate_type` is `flat_amount`. This positive integer represents how much to charge in the smallest currency unit (e.g., 100 cents to charge $1.00 or 100 to charge ¥100, a zero-decimal currency). The amount value supports up to eight digits (e.g., a value of 99999999 for a USD charge of $999,999.99).
`amount (anyOf 2)`	string	Alternative	Pattern: ^-?[0-9]+(?:\.[0-9]+)?(?:[eE][+-]?[0-9]+)?$
`currency`	string	Required within parent	Three-letter ISO currency code, in lowercase. Maximum length: 5000

Policy, approvals and errors

SDK function policy ID: stripe.gettaxratestaxrate. Catalog operation: GetTaxRatesTaxRate. Rules can name either ID; function rules distinguish managed calls and conservatively cover raw calls sharing the route. Existing grant permissions and policy rules apply. wait() returns an immediate result or waits for a required approval; it never approves the request itself. Persist the approval ID to resume after a restart.

Provider errors retain their response; JSON decoding raises ProviderAPIError for provider failures. ManagedOperationError identifies contract/input/retention errors. See error handling and provider-specific behavior. Sensitive input may be refused before approval storage. A decoding error never resubmits a write.
