Tax details and VAT per product

Why tax details matter

Correct tax details are the foundation of tidy management: they enable subscription billing, the calculation of VAT on receipts and reporting. Set them once and keep them up to date.

Step 1 — Complete your tax profile

• Enter your legal name, VAT number and country.
• If you operate in more than one EU country, the country determines the correct intra-EU VAT treatment.

Step 2 — Set VAT on products

Each menu product has its own VAT rate. Depending on your country, different rates may apply (e.g. dine-in vs takeaway, specific food items). Set the correct rate on the product: it will be used at the POS and in orders.

Step 3 — Check at the POS

When you close a bill, the POS applies the VAT of each product and summarizes it by rate. Check that the totals match what you expect.

Step 4 — Reports

Use the summaries to keep the taxable amount and the VAT collected per period under control, useful when you prepare your filings with your accountant.

Tip

Define the rates when you create the products: correcting them later, once receipts have been issued, is more complicated. When in doubt, ask your accountant for the correct rate for each product.
