Tax Included on "Goods & Services" and Service Charges

V5 Question
61

I never did that before but it may work.

Do you want to sell bread and calculate tax for servicing?

62

Truthfully not at the moment.
I was little concerned that I might need to if a product is sold with no Tax and they paid by CARD

There also the issue of having Products which are taxed differently i.e Product “A” has 1 Tax but Product “B” has 2 Taxes - that would be rare and what Tax does SambaPOS use?

PS: Emre I spending so much time on this because it will be a significant revenue source for a venue and ultimately Us

When you have multiple taxes service amount will distribute to order amounts and receive a small amount of tax from each order weighted by order amount and tax rate. I mean that would not be a single tax rate.

I think another solution might be configuring service as not “Include tax” like before and setup a rate equivalent to tax excluded service amount. For example not %1 but %0.85 and setup tax for service as a secondary calculation for the remaining %0.15. It may work fine if you always have a fixed service tax rate. Of course service amount and service amount tax lines will appear separately under ticket but you can sum them up in receipts.

Service Rate will vary depending on Ticket Total.
How would you suggest setting up the “secondary calculation”? Ah another Payment Processor?

65

OMG.

Yes you’ll add secondary add calculation processor. I hope description column would make sense now.

66

I will explain.
Many Shops and Restaurants wish to pass on their Merchant Fees to Customers as these can be as high as 3.5% on Total Ticket Price (Taxable and Non Taxable products). So when the Customer is asked how they wish to pay, if the Customer says “American Express” the operator will say


“well we charge an extra 3.5% surcharge for Amex which will be $999, are you still happy to pay by that Card?”

Lots of cases including myself will then pay by Cash or another Card Type.

67


 and customer says “OK. I don’t have other card and if you do it I won’t buy from you anymore”. At the end manager accepts applying half of surcharge for once


This is what I generally encounter when I implement some rule to make my customer happy.

Post #9 - Do you understand what I as suggesting, as I obviously confused everybody early on


69

Seems like it makes sense to you but no, I don’t understand. Maybe if we wait for other people to comment someone else may find it useful.

Understand, @JohnS would of been helpful as was from a similar situation in Aust. from a Club that wold “watch” every penny


Anyway I see what you mean about Discounts:
{DISCOUNT TOTAL}
This Tag obviously sums Payment Processors as well OR sums the difference between Ticket Original Total and Ticket New Total?

[EDIT:]
Also if I use the default “Discount %” button the Calculation for Service still operates from the Non-Discounted Amount. GST is correct just over charging on Service - could live with that
