Configuring Sales Tax

How to configure sales tax in WIZniche POS across delivery, QR code, pickup, domestic shipping, and international orders — including tax calculation methods.

The Sales Tax settings page lets you configure how tax is calculated and applied across different order and fulfillment types in WIZniche POS. Once configured, taxes are automatically applied to POS orders and Invoices.

⚠️ Important: WIZniche recommends consulting a tax advisor to ensure taxes are applied and filed correctly for your business and jurisdiction.


How to Access

  1. Click Settings in the left sidebar.

  2. Under the Payment section, click Sales Tax.

The Sales Tax page is organised into two sections — each with its own Manage Settings button.


Section 1: WIZniche Delivery and Pickup Tax Overrides

This section controls how sales tax is applied to orders fulfilled via delivery, QR code, or pickup. Each order type shows an Automatically Applied Taxes badge when active.

  • Delivery sales tax — Sales taxes on all local delivery orders.

  • QR code sales — Sales taxes on all QR code orders.

  • Pickup — Sales taxes on all pickup orders.

Click Manage Settings to open the full configuration panel for this section.

Inside the Delivery & Pickup Settings Panel

For each order type (Delivery, QR Code, Pickup), you can choose one of two options:

  • Apply automatically generated tax rates — WIZniche calculates taxes automatically based on your tax enrollments. This is the default and recommended setting.

  • Do not collect taxes — No taxes will be applied for this order type.

For Delivery orders, there is an additional setting:

  • Exempt delivery fees from tax — Check this box if delivery fees should not be taxed.

Tax Calculation Method

At the bottom of this panel you'll find the Automatic and manual taxes calculation method setting, which applies globally:

  • Additive tax (shown as separate line item) — Tax is calculated on top of the item price and displayed as a separate line on invoices and receipts. This is the default.

  • Inclusive tax (included in item price) — Tax is built into the item price and not shown separately.

Click Save to apply your changes.


Section 2: Shipping & Non-Physical Tax Overrides

This section controls tax on shipped orders and non-physical goods. Each type shows an Automatically Applied Taxes badge when active.

  • Domestic shipping and non-physical sales taxes — Covers all general tangible goods shipped to the customer via WIZniche POS orders, as well as digital downloads, events, services, donations, and memberships.

  • International shipping & non-physical taxes — Covers all international shipping sales made through WIZniche POS.

Click Manage Settings to open the configuration panel for this section.

Inside the Shipping & Non-Physical Settings Panel

For Domestic shipping & non-physical sales taxes:

  • Apply automatically generated tax rates — WIZniche calculates taxes automatically based on your tax enrollments.

  • Do not collect taxes — No taxes will be applied to shipping or non-physical sales.

  • Exempt shipping fees from tax — Check this box if shipping fees themselves should not be taxed.

The Tax Calculation Method (Additive or Inclusive) also appears at the bottom of this panel — same setting as in the Delivery panel. Click Save to apply.
