Tax Category |
|
Most people only need two tax categories.
All inventory items, products and services, are assigned a tax category. By default, POSitive creates Merchandise and No Tax tax categories which should be sufficient for most businesses.
If a type of inventory, such as labor, has a unique tax rate, then you may add additional tax categories. Keep in mind that the simpler you can make it the better.
WARNING: Adding a new Tax Category requires editing of ALL existing Tax Groups so that each Tax Group will have an assigned tax rate linked to the newly added tax category.
