How to Attach Tax to Products or Services
After you create a tax, you need to attach it to the items that should charge it. The system then applies the tax automatically whenever those items are sold.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open the sidebar menu.
- Select Products or Services.
- Click on the item you want to update.
- Find the Tax section in the item details.
- Choose the correct tax from the dropdown (for example, "VAT" or "Service Tax"). If you do not see the tax you need, create it first in Store Settings > Taxes.
- Click Save. The selected tax will apply each time this item is sold.
Tips
- Confirm each item has the right tax, especially if you sell both taxable and non-taxable items.
- You can assign different taxes to different products or services.
- When you update a tax rate, all items using that tax update automatically.
- Consult your accountant if you are unsure which tax applies.
Best Practices
- Review item tax assignments regularly, especially after price or menu changes.
- Train staff to check tax settings when adding or editing products.
- Remove unused or outdated taxes to keep your list clean.
