Exatouch version 8.55 allows you to Customize Tax Names and Apply Volumetric Taxes. 

  • See: Set General Tax Rates and Set Per Unit Tax Rates

  1. Navigate to Tax settings via Home > Settings > Taxes.
  2. Apply a label for a Tax Group by clicking on the Group name and typing a label name.
  3. Apply a label to a Tax by clicking on the Tax name and typing a label name.
  4. Show on receipt checkbox has been added.
    • Enable Show on receipt to break down all taxes by name on the customer’s receipt.
    • Leaving Show on receipt unchecked will lump all taxes together on the receipt and display a total.
  5. New Tax Groups E-F-G have been added to the Tax setup page to accommodate Volumetric Taxes.
    • Taxes in Groups E-F-G are calculated in $ amounts; taxes in Groups A-B-C-D are calculated in percentages.
    • Tax Groups E-F-G represent $ per Unit/Gallon/Liter.
      • Example 1: ($ per unit) There are 20 cigarettes in a pack, so tax is charged per unit (cigarette in the pack). Select unit to apply this tax.
      • Example 2: ($ per gallon) A six pack of 12 oz beer bottles has 72 oz total. This is equivalent to 0.56 gallons taxes. Select gallon to apply this tax.
  6. Pack size field is now available on Items Details page to accommodate new tax options.
    • Pack size option is used so the taxes can be converted to tax per unit.
    • Example: Six pack of beer would be 6 X 12 of . “of” is used to indicate ounces fluid. (6 pack of 12 ounces of fluid.) “oz” is used to indicate weight.
  7. A Type drop-down has been added to Items Details in the Tax Group section. The Type drop-down displays names defined on the Tax Setup page for Tax Groups E-F-G. If no names have been assigned, the Type drop-down will indicate None.
  • Tip! Multiple taxes from Tax Groups can be applied to a single item. For example, a tax from Group A and a tax from Group E can be applied to a single item.
