Removing Tax When Ordering
Sometimes you need to remove tax from an order. This could be for a tax-exempt customer, a special promotion, or another valid reason.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open the sidebar menu.
- Select Register under the POS section.
- Add items to the order as usual.
- Remove the tax:
- Per item -- Select the item you want to modify, find the tax section, and check Exclude Tax to remove tax for that item.
- Entire order -- Go to Summary, click the Menu button below, and select Remove Tax to remove tax from the whole order.
- Review the order summary to confirm the tax has been removed.
- Complete the sale. The receipt will reflect the updated tax amount.
Tips
- Some stores require manager approval to remove tax. If you do not see the option, check with your admin.
- Use the notes field to record why you removed tax (for example, a tax-exempt customer or charity event).
- Only remove tax when your local laws or store policy allow it.
- Always review the final total before completing the order.
Best Practices
- Train staff on when it is appropriate to remove tax.
- Keep records of tax-exempt sales for reporting and compliance.
- Review your tax settings regularly to match current regulations.
