Tax Overview

Your POS system handles tax calculations automatically. Once you set up your tax rates, every sale applies the correct amount without any manual math.

What Is a Tax?

A tax is an extra charge added to the price of your products or services. Governments typically require it. Common examples include VAT, sales tax, and service tax.

When you create a tax in Fuze Store, the system adds it to each qualifying sale for you.

Why Set Up Taxes?

• Stay compliant with local and national tax laws.
• Save time by letting the system calculate amounts.
• Show clear receipts so customers see exactly what they pay.
• Simplify reporting when it is time to file or audit.

How Taxes Work in Your POS

• Automatic calculation -- taxes apply to sales based on your settings.
• Flexible setup -- create different rates for different products, services, or locations.
• Tax exemptions -- remove or adjust tax for specific customers or situations.
