Taxes and Levies

There are two different types of taxes in Brew Ninja, tax rates and code. Only tax codes are applied to products, and various tax rates are included in tax codes.

There are up to four levies which can be associated with the sale of your Product SKUs; you can customize the name each one.


Levies

Levies are additional fees associated with particular sales orders, and are generally region-specific. The collection of these levies, like taxes, need to be remitted to the governing body in your region. Name any relevant levies here, and we'll display these names where required. 


Note that Levy names cannot contain special characters.



Tax Codes

These codes can be applied to product skus on purchase orders, retail sales, or sales orders. Each tax code may consist of up to three tax rates.
