Working With Tax

Tax is an additional amount of money added to the price of goods or services purchased by customers. This extra money goes to the government to support public services. The POS system calculates the tax automatically based on the items purchased and the tax rates set by the government. When customers pay for their purchases, the total amount includes both the price of the items and the tax.

I Collect Tax: No

I collect tax no means you’re not applied any tax over the product.

I Collect Tax: Yes

I collect tax yes means you’re trying to apply tax over the product.

Let’s try to understand more deeply!

Here we can see “Tax Type” has two options, One is Exclusive Tax, Inclusive Tax.

Inclusive Tax: Inclusive tax means that the tax amount is included in the displayed price of the product or service. The customer pays the total amount displayed, which includes both the base price and the tax. In this case, the tax is not listed separately on the receipt because it’s already included in the total price.
Exclusive Tax: Exclusive tax, on the other hand, means that the tax amount is not included in the displayed price of the product or service. Instead, the tax is added to the base price at the time of purchase, and the customer pays the total amount, which includes both the base price and the separately listed tax amount. The tax is listed on the receipt to show how much was charged for the product or service and how much was charged for taxes.Tax Title & Tax Registration No: Tax Title and Tax Registration No will be shown in invoice for example: Local Tax: 10069

My Tax Is GST: Yes

If you dont enter customer’s GST number, system will apply CGST and SGST But for this you have to add CGST, SGST, IGST and VAT in Tax Fields In POS, when selecting customer you will get option to set customer’s GST Number and system will match your state code with customer’s state code, if these match, system will apply CGST and IGST, if does not, system will apply CGST and SGST

My Tax Fields: How it works?

All of these input fields will be appeared in each of your Item profile. You can then set amount application for all of these for that specific item. If an item does not have any of these’s tax, you just put that\’s value 0. Like if you use GST and the item is an alchohol item you will set value in only VAT field and leave other field blank, then only VAT will be applicable for that item. If you are using GST, you should put value in all CGST, SGST and IGST, system will determine where to select SGST or IGST as you have chosen My Tax is GST above. And if you are dealing with a single Tax amount, just add one field here. Note that which names you add here, will be appeared in your invoice.

Tax In Item Profile

You must have seen or will see that there is an option to add the tax to the item profile, In this lesson, we will describe how works tax in item profiles in detail.

You may remember that we had an option in our tax settings called “I Collect Tax” You can attach tax to items in the item profile whenever “I collect tax” is set to “Yes”. According to your business setting you will see the taxes field and amount, CGST, IGST, SGST, VAT, and so on, also you can customize any tax amount from the item profile.

Tax In Sale

How does Tax calculated in selling time on a product?

Earlier we mentioned in the “Tax Item Profile” article how tax applies to a product.

We know that there is an option to pay tax on the product while adding the product, Those taxes will be effective at the time of sale according to the amount of tax given in the product profile.

Let’s make an example: 
Step 1: Let’s assume a product’s price is 103, and the applied tax is CGST = 1%, SGST = 1 %, IGST = 1% and VAT = 1% respectively

So, Tha tax calculation formula will be ((Total Tax percentage * Product Price) / 100), According to this formula the amount will be for CGST, SGST, IGST = ((4 * 80) / 100) = 3.20

NB: Note that this formula only applicable for when customer is Different state, If customer is same sate Tax Calculation formula will be same but tax will be applied only “CGST, SGST, VAT”

Tax in Invoice

Taxes applied at the time of sale will be shown on the invoice.
