Tax rate changes – A helping hand from eatPOS

With the government announcement stated by Mr.Sunak, VAT for hospitality and the entertainment industry will change from 20% to 5% (for many items).

To keep our customers up to speed below is a reminder of how you can change tax rates on your menus & products.

Setting up Tax rates is a simple process, you have the ability to create a tax rate and add it to a certain department, category or item. Firstly, go to Financial settings->Tax rates and mappings and click Add, the name would be VAT and the rate would be 5% in this case.

Then click Save and Edit. From here there will be another Add option which will need to be clicked so that you can set the tax rate to a specific area. In this example below we have assigned tax mappings to the Deep squid within the Main Course Category.
