Here is my ticket template for my bills. I’m wanting a tax total of total bill for 14% but it stays 0.00. All I want is for the tax to be worked out as if it was included in the price already, it must not be added to the bill total.

Our vat here is South Africa is 14%.

Thank you

You set it up correctly. But im confused. Whats wrong ecactly.

it reports an amount of 0.00 instead of the calculated 14% of the total

Can you show a sample printout?

sorry couldn’t get notepad printing to work.

Do you use multiple ticket types?

Yes I do, we have three departments in our restaurant

Did you added mapping for tax template?

PS: When you change something with taxes you need to create new tickets to test it as Tax changes does not reflect to past tickets.

Yes my Mapping is active in my tax template.

for the p.s I’ve ended work periods and religiously restart the pos after any major changes, have learnt that the hard way. But thank you for the idea at least.

Does ticket displays a tax amount? I’m trying to understand if tax config works fine or not.

No, if you look at the example of the printed bill four posts up it just shows 0.00, If I understand you correctly…

Hes not talking printef bill. He means in the pos.

No it doesn’t show in ticket display

If this is too difficult to solve maybe we should just do an “TAX” formula …

e.g: a line on the bill template that just works out 14% of the bill total?

so if the bill total is R1400 then a line to work out the 14% of that (R196) ? Not attached to any accounting.

Tax templates work. You must have a configuration mistake somewhere.

I hear you, but my options are limited. And this would be a quick solution (if someone could help me with formula script)

Well, you should solve your Tax Setup / Template issue, but this should do the trick on your template (assuming Tax is not included already) …

<J10>Tax:|R[=F(TN('{TICKET TOTAL}') * 0.14)]
<J10>Total:|R{TICKET TOTAL}

Thank you I appreciate it, actually I was thinking you’d be the one to post a formula!

Post a shot of the Tax Transaction Type, and also the setup of the Account Types and Accounts used in that Transaction type.
