====== Taxes & Rates ====== To correctly apply the taxes to the variety of customers CCS will support, you must understand the three sections of tax setup: * Tax Rates * Transaction Types * Item Setup * Customer Option ===== Point of Sale Tax Rate: ===== Office Toolbar - System - Taxes Tax Rates are applied to items specifically. There can be multiple tax rates in the system. Usually the two tax rates are the standard rate and zero. Zero sets the item to be never taxed. CCS also supports Canadian GST & PST, and Singapore's GST Tax. This method means the Tax is Compounded on the PST Tax. Finally, CCS will support taxing of baked goods & drinks appropriately where required in regions of Canada. ===== Transactional Type Based Taxing ===== Office -- System - Transaction Types Different transaction types require or do not require tax. For each transaction type you will need to set the Tax option in the Transaction Type Window. Examples: Retail vs. Whole Sale, Dine In vs. Take Out. Canadian tax rules can apply to items in combination with the type of item they are. Also supported is tax for Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore and Mexico. ===== Item Setup ===== When adding items you should have already determined the transaction types and tax rates. For each item during setup you will determine their Tax Rate and if the item is taxed always by that tax rate or according to the transaction type. ===== Customer Option ===== For a variety of reasons a customer might be a non-taxed customer. From a wholesaler to a priest many different reasons are applied. Therefore, if you have input a customer into your customer database, you can set them as a non-taxed customer from: CCS Office - CRM - Contact Search - Contact Information Screen.
