Tax rates

Define your VAT or GST rates once, then decide where each applies. MC-POS resolves the right rate for you at the moment of sale.

Steps

1. Open it

   Finance → Taxes.

2. Add a rate

   Name it as it should print — "VAT 5%", "GST 18%". The printed name matters; customers and auditors read it.

3. Set a business default

   The rate most of your products carry. It applies wherever nothing more specific is set.

4. Override on a product

   Zero-rated or exempt lines carry their own rate on the product record.

5. Override on a customer

   An exempt or export customer can carry a rate that beats the product's.

Good to know

• The order of precedence is customer, then product, then business default. The most specific one wins.
• If a sale shows tax you did not expect, check the customer first — it is the level people forget.
• Turning tax off in Business Details hides tax rather than setting it to zero. Zero-rating is a rate; not charging tax is a switch.
