Tax rates
The Tax rates module is used for the taxes applied to products, services, and sales. Here you create the tax rates themselves, and in the business settings you define which taxes are preselected by default and how prices are interpreted in relation to tax.
This is usually one of the earlier finance setup steps. If you work with tax and fiscal flow, fill this in before day-to-day payment operations.
What is on the page
The main list shows:
- tax name;
- rate;
- Fiscal VAT group;
- Active status;
- an edit action.
Below the list there is a separate Business default tax settings card where you manage:
- Default tax for products
- Default tax for services
- Price tax mode
Create and edit a tax rate
- Open Tax rates.
- Select Create tax rate.
- Fill in:
- Tax Name
- Rate
- optionally Fiscal VAT group
- Active tax
- Save.
When you open an existing tax rate, you can:
- edit the name, rate, and fiscal VAT group;
- delete the tax rate;
- restore a deleted tax rate.
Business default settings
From the Business default tax settings card you choose which taxes should be preselected automatically when the specific record does not have its own tax:
- Default tax for products is used for products and vouchers;
- Default tax for services is used for services, appointments, memberships, and wallet top-ups.
If a product, service, or another sale item has its own tax, that tax takes priority over the business default.
You can also enable:
- Reset existing products to use the business default tax
- Reset existing services to use the business default tax
These switches do not write the selected tax directly onto every record. Instead, they remove the explicit tax from existing products or services so those records start inheriting the business default tax.
If no default tax is selected and you enable such a switch, the existing records stay without their own explicit tax and will not receive an automatic business tax from that setting.
Price tax mode
The same screen includes Price tax mode. It defines how the app interprets entered prices:
- Prices are entered without tax - tax is added on top of the entered price;
- Prices are entered with tax included - tax is extracted from the entered price.
This setting affects sales calculations, so change it only if you clearly understand your pricing model.
What Fiscal VAT group is for
The Fiscal VAT group field maps the tax rate to a fiscal VAT group in the cash register. This is important for correct fiscal reporting.
The actual device, operator details, and print mode are configured separately in Fiscal devices and fiscal printing.
