The Z-Cloud POS system addresses Value Added Tax (VAT) through a comprehensive tax setting feature that allows for multiple tax fields and rates, which can be applied and adjusted as needed. Here’s a breakdown of how the system handles VAT:

• Tax Configuration:
  • Multiple Tax Fields: The software allows for the addition of multiple tax fields with their respective rates. This means that if a restaurant needs to apply several taxes (e.g., VAT, sales tax, city tax), each can be set up in the system.
  • Tax Rates: Each tax field can have a specific rate that is applied to the item price. These rates are configurable and can be modified as needed.
  • Tax Application: The system will apply all of the configured tax fields when adding an item, and the tax rate can be modified at that point if needed for a specific item.
  • Tax Collection: If the "I Collect Tax" option is set to "No," the system will not consider any tax in its calculations. When set to "Yes," the software includes tax in all operations.
  • Exclusive Tax: When set to "Exclusive Tax," the food price does not contain the tax, and the tax is added to the unit price.
• Inclusive Tax: When set to "Inclusive Tax," the food price includes the tax amount.
• Tax Title and Registration: You can set the tax title (e.g., VAT, GST) and registration number, which will be shown on the invoice header.
• Tax Calculation:
  • The system calculates tax based on the type of tax configuration selected (exclusive or inclusive).
  • The tax is calculated based on the price of the food item and the set tax rate. The system can display the tax amount separately on the Point of Sale (POS) screen, and on the printed invoice.
• Flexibility and Adjustments:
  • While taxes are auto-populated based on the tax settings, you can change the tax rate for a specific item if necessary. This is useful if some items are taxed at a different rate than others.
• Reporting:
  • The system includes a Tax Report, which can be used to view the collected tax amounts.
• POS Display:
  • Taxes are shown on the POS screen when adding items to the cart.

In summary, Z-Cloud provides a robust and flexible system for managing VAT/GST, allowing for various tax configurations, automatic calculations, and adjustments at the item level.
