Spoonfed is international software, and as such, tax rates can be built and configured based on the needs in your Country. Specifically in the UK, there may be a National VAT Rate of 20%, whereas in the United States or Canada, taxes can vary by State, Province or even type of Item sold.
Navigate to: Setup > Organization > Tax Rates.
All previously created Tax Rates appear here. The Default Tax Rate for your account is marked as such and says 'Is Default'. The Default cannot be deleted, as at least one Tax Rate must be entered into the system.
To edit a Tax Rate, click 'Edit.'
To delete a Tax Rate, click 'Delete.'
To add a new Tax Rate, click 'Add Tax.'
Set Up Default and Tax Exempt Rates
Set Up Default and Tax Exempt Rates
We advise every account to have a Default Tax Rate with the standard tax by location that gets applied to all food orders upon checkout. Click Make Default near a different Tax Rate to make that the standard Tax Rate applied to all Orders and Menus.
It's important to create a Tax Exempt Rate for when a tax should not be applied. Certain Customers or Menu Items might be Tax Exempt for various reasons. Having a Tax Exempt category helps to easily apply this when necessary.
