🧾 Tax Overview

Taxes can seem complicated, but your POS system makes them easy to manage—no accounting background or technical skills needed! This guide will help you understand how taxes work in your store, how to set them up, and how to keep everything running smoothly and legally.

What is Tax in Your POS?

A tax is an extra amount added to the price of your products or services, usually required by your local or national government. Common examples include VAT, sales tax, or service tax. Your POS system can automatically calculate and add the right tax to each sale, so you don’t have to do the math.

Why Set Up Taxes?

• Stay Compliant: Make sure you’re following local tax laws and regulations.
• Save Time: Let the system handle calculations, so you can focus on your business.
• Accurate Receipts: Customers see exactly how much tax they’re paying.
• Easy Reporting: Quickly generate tax reports for accounting or government filing.

How Taxes Work in Your POS

• Automatic Calculation: Once set up, taxes are automatically added to sales based on your settings.
• Flexible Setup: You can create different tax rates for different products, services, or locations.
• Tax Exemptions: Remove or adjust tax for certain customers or special cases (like charities or promotions).
• Clear Receipts: Every receipt shows the tax amount, so there are no surprises for you or your customers.
