Learn how to create a tax-inclusive environment to include taxes in your menu items’ total price.
The Eats365 POS allows you to set up a tax-inclusive environment, where taxes are seamlessly incorporated into your menu prices. For instance, if a menu item is priced at $100 with a 3% tax rate, the price breakdown would be as follows:
| Tax (3%) | Item price | Total item price |
| $2.91 | $97.09 | $100 |
In this article, you’ll learn how to create a tax-inclusive environment to automatically include taxes in your menu items’ total price.
