When the product is sold, the tax will apply to the product and be calculated with the sub-total amount of the product. It is possible that different tax rates will be applied to the product as per various locations or regions.
How tax rate will configure under FTx Cloud POS: Tax Rates > Tax Groups > POS Flags > Departments > Products fall into the specific departments
- Tax Rates: Configure the rates of the tax and these rates will be location specific. (This is explained in this KB Article.)
- Tax Groups: Tax Rates will be added to the Tax Group. Whatever tax rates (single or multiple) are applied to the product, they must be assigned in the Tax Group.
- POS Flags: The tax group will be assigned to the POS Flag, along with age restriction and excise tax if applicable. It is possible that one Tax Group can be assigned to multiple POS Flags.
- Department: The POS Flag will be assigned to the department, and the products within it will be classified according to a specific tax group, age restriction, and exise tax, if applicable. It is possible that one POS Flag can be assigned to multiple departments.
- Products/Items: Only one department will be assigned. The department is to classify the products into specific tax groups, age restrictions, and other options.

Fields:
You will see the fields of the Tax Rates as shown in Figure C above.
1. Name: Enter the name of the tax rate. (The Tax Rate name would be similar to taxes that are applied on selling the products so it will be easy to identify the tax.)
2. Account Number: Select an existing Pricebook Zone from the drop-down selection. This field will copy the settings of the selected Pricebook Zone for the new Pricebook Zone, i.e., product’s Cost and Price.
This will help to avoid manual entry with the common settings to reduce the time for the new Pricebook Zone.
3. Rate Locations (Change All): Enter the specific tax rate value for all the locations (stores) with just one click. The "Change All" section is explained individually.
4. Tax Rates (Location-wise): You will see the lists of the locations (stores) with the Tax Rate value (%), Flat Tax value, and Occupational Tax value (%). Enter the applicable tax rate values manually.
Note: The "Tax Rate" & "Occupational Tax" values will be in a percentage (%) while the "Flat Tax" value will be in flat value.
