⬜ Tax Rates & Tax Groups in AurPOS

AurPOS allows you to easily set up and manage taxes applied to products and services—whether a single tax or a combination of multiple taxes.

This setup helps ensure invoice accuracy and compliance with local tax regulations.

✅ Step 1: Setting Up Tax Rates

To add a new tax rate, follow these steps:

From the main menu, go to:

Settings → Tax Rates

Click the "Add" button at the top-right corner.

A form will appear. Fill in the following information:

• Tax Name:
  Enter a descriptive name for the tax (e.g., VAT 5%).
• Tax Rate %:
  Enter the tax percentage (e.g., 5).

Click "Save" to add the tax rate to the system.

✅ Step 2: Creating Tax Groups

In some cases, you may need to apply multiple taxes to the same invoice. This is where Tax Groups come in—they allow you to combine several tax rates into one grouped tax.

To create a tax group:

From the same Tax Rates page, go to the "Tax Groups" tab.

Click the "Add Group" button.

In the form, provide the following:

• Group Name:
  Enter a name that reflects the nature of the combined tax (e.g., State & County Tax).
• Sub-Taxes:
  Select the tax rates you want to combine within this group.

✍️ Note:
The total tax rate for the group will be the sum of all selected sub-taxes.
If any of the sub-taxes are later modified, the group tax rate will automatically update.
A tax rate cannot be deleted while it's part of a tax group—you must remove it from the group first.

⚠️ How to Disable Taxes in the System

If you don’t want to apply taxes in sales or purchases, you can disable tax features by following these steps:

Go to:

Settings → Business Settings

Uncheck the following options:

• Enable inline tax in purchases and sales (from tax settings)
• Enable price & tax info (from product settings)

In the "Default Sales Tax" field, select None.

✍️ Note:
When inline tax is disabled, the Inclusive Tax column will not be displayed on the POS screen.

✨ Summary

• You can add individual tax rates or combine several into a grouped tax depending on your business needs.
• AurPOS supports automatic tax calculations and applies them to invoices accordingly.
• Taxes can be completely disabled if they are not required for your business operations.
