TXP and TPP Tax and Amount Type Code Lists

The TXP (Tax Payment) and TPP (Third Party Tax Payments) codes are used with ACH payments.  They clarify how the payment in the BPR (Beginning Segment for Payments) is allocated.  The BPR segment includes the banking information and dollar total.  

The TXP banking convention contains the format, definitions, and implementation suggestions for business to electronically remit tax payments and information to taxing authorities via the automated Clearing House (ACH) Network using the CCD+ format.  This method allows the business taxpayer to transmit an ACH credit payment with remittance details in a single transaction.

Business and finance concept, looking up at high rise buildings in the financial district of a modern metropolis.
The rules and guidelines governing the formats, specifications and exchange of ACH entries are published by Nacha. Nacha is also responsible for developing and maintaining Nacha endorsed banking conventions.

Uniform Third Party Payment Codes

The following list reflects the agreed upon uniform third party payment codes developed in partnership with Nacha, FTA, and State tax agencies. 

The ASC X12 EDI TXP and TPP Segments/Nacha Banking Conventions and state practice permits the use of the last two characters of the 5-byte field for a state’s own distinguishing codes.   Note: FTA provides this list in an effort to promote uniformity across state tax agencies. Please check with individual agencies to validate what they use.
