Change taxes on take-away sales
In some countries, products consumed Take-away may be subject to a different VAT rate from the one applicable to Eat in consumption.
The software allows you to automatically apply the VAT rate corresponding to the consumption method, with the option of applying a different price.
#Prerequisites
Before getting started, go to 'Settings/Users/Access management' and enable the following permissions:
- Manage product tags
- Assign tags to the product
- Authorize to modify taxes on eat‐in and take‐away sales
#Identify the products concerned
Start by creating a tag to identify products that may be subject to a different VAT rate when sold Take-away:
- Go to 'Products/Product settings/Tags'
- Create a tag category called 'VAT rules'.
- Click on the magnifying glass associated with this category.
- Add the tag 'Take-away VAT'.
Associate the tag with the products:
In the product details of each relevant product, go to the Product tags section and select 'Take-away'.
The tax rate selected in the product details will be applied by default to sales. Therefore, select the rate that applies to the consumption method that is most common in your business.
#Configure the application
Go to the Apps section and install the 'Take-away / Eat in VAT' application.
Then open its configuration page and select:
- the VAT rate for Eat in consumption;
- the VAT rate for Take-away consumption;
- the 'Take-away' tag that will trigger the VAT rate change.
If you want a different price from the one configured in the product details to apply to a specific consumption method, you can associate a consumption method with a price list.
The prices from the selected price list will then apply to the products included in the list. Products not included in the list will retain their standard pricing.
#Record a sale
When processing a payment, two buttons appear at the bottom of the ticket:
Eat in | Take-away
Select the consumption method corresponding to the sale.
For the relevant products, the software will then apply the VAT rate corresponding to the selected consumption method, along with the applicable price change, if configured.
Note: If no different pricing is applied, the product's selling price remains unchanged. Only the VAT amount is recalculated.
The selected consumption method also remains visible directly in the sale.
When you select a product in the sale, you can view the VAT rate applied to it and change it if necessary.
