Taxes and service charge

Tax categories

Section titled “Tax categories”

A tax category says which taxes apply to an item. Installing the catalog gives you Standard (the taxes you confirmed when setting up) and Zero-rated.

  1. Open Menu & catalog → Taxes.
  2. Open a category, or choose New tax category.
  3. Add each tax with its name and rate (VAT 18 %). Taxes are added to the price in the order listed. Leave a category empty for zero-rated or exempt items.
  4. Tick Default on the category new items should get.

Choose an item’s tax category on the item.

Prices with or without tax, and the service charge

Section titled “Prices with or without tax, and the service charge”

These were set in the set-up wizard:

  • Prices include tax: the till takes the tax out of the price. Prices exclude tax: the till adds it on top.
  • Service charge: a percentage added to dine-in orders only. Tax is charged on it too.

How the bill adds up

Section titled “How the bill adds up”

Discounts come off first, then the service charge is added, then taxes on what’s left. Each tax is rounded once for the bill, so a long ticket never drifts by a cent. The receipt lists each tax and the service charge.
