@laurenreidexpensify I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

[izarutskaya]

We think this issue might be related to the #collect project.

Not ideal, but this doesn't need to be a deploy blocker. Checked it off

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Tax and tax amount are updated in a little bit delayed way in transaction thread page.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We don't pass the taxCode and taxAmount to getMoneyRequestInformation function to build the optimistic transaction so tax and taxAmount are only displayed when the RequestMoney API is complete

App/src/libs/actions/IOU.ts

Line 2079 in ce06355

function requestMoney(

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should accept passing taxCode and taxAmount into getMoneyRequestInformation function and use it to build the optimistic transaction. So the tax and taxAmount can be displayed immediately when the request is created.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

NA

@Julesssss What do you think about my proposal? I can raise the PR to fix this issue ASAP if my proposal is selected.

[Julesssss]

@laurenreidexpensify and @techievivek will perform initial triage before we open it up for contributors, but that shouldn't take long 👍
