Add Taxes

To charge taxes during a sales process, you must add each required tax to the system and configure the rate. You can add a simple tax that includes a single rate or you can add a tax with multiple entities, each with its own tax rate. Additionally, you also determine whether the tax should be the default applied to taxable merchandise.

After you add a tax, it is active in the system and can be assigned to individual programs, events, and any other items or services you sell. When an order is processed that involves an item configured with a tax, the appropriate tax is charged.

Tip: To save time, you can assign daily admission programs and scheduled programs to a tax. This is an efficient way to assign taxes to multiple programs, rather than to access each individual program record. For more information, see Add Programs to Taxes.

Warning: When a rate changes for an existing tax, you should edit the appropriate tax and enter the new rate the night before the new rate takes effect. For more information about how to change a tax rate, see Edit Taxes.
