Error 18017

Tax amount requested to refund exceeds the tax balance available for the order or item.

This error occurs when the refund amount you are requesting for the tax component of an order exceeds the amount that can be refunded. Common reasons why your requested refund might be too high include the following:

• The refund amount you are specifying is greater than the amount the customer paid for the tax component of an order.
• The refund amount you are specifying is greater than the amount the customer paid for the tax component of an order minus any previous refunds applied to the tax component of an order.

For example, if a customer pays AED 2 for tax, you can refund up to AED 2 toward the tax component of the order. If you refund AED 1.50 of the tax, the customer's tax balance is AED 0.50. Any future refunds for tax cannot exceed that AED 0.50 balance.

To view the current balance for any component in an order, you can search for the order using the Search Orders feature in Seller Central.

To resolve this error, please resubmit your data with a refund amount that is less than or equal to the customer's current balance.
