  • Downloadable Files:

Tax rates are configured under the Settings module. Tabs in the Tax Settings submodule correspond to different types of taxes: General, Per Unit, and Pre & Post. On each tab, tax rates are defined in Groups. Tax Groups are labeled alphabetically (i.e., Tax Group E, Tax Group F), but can be assigned custom labels too.

Per Unit taxes are set up on the Per Unit tab. Tax Groups E, F and G on the Per Unit tab are designated for liquor, tobacco, and sweet beverage taxes. These tax groups can be assigned a “per unit” cost.
