Can PayPal REST API payments calculate shipping and taxes?

I have successfully used the PayPal REST API to create and execute a payment in the sandbox, but even if I have delivery options and tax rates, they are not displayed to the user. I expected delivery options and estimated tax to appear before the user "approves" the payment. Is this function supported through the REST API, and if so, what do I need to pass for this to happen?

Tax and shipping profiles are for PayPal Standard transactions only (Buy Now buttons). APIs such as Classic and REST APIs are designed for more advanced integration and are developed where PayPal returns the delivery address of your choice and your system selects the tax rate and delivery rates before the customer confirms the payment.

PayPal Delivery Calculator applies only to Standard Payment transactions. Express check will not use the delivery calculator. https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Merchant-services-Archive/Using-PayPal-s-shipping-calculator-with-Express-Checkout/td-p/328404
