Sales Tax

Hi, I'm a mobile food vendor working at fairs and festivals. I don't carry any coin change for cash transactions. I would like to set up my square so that on credit card transactions the sales tax is additive and on cash transactions inclusive without having to go and reset everything. It's a "cash discount". Looking for some way to make this work. Thanks

I have 2 ideas for this

1. Create a discount % in your system for the tax amount or offer a flat percentage for cash (EX 5%). Then, you will ring up a client and toggle Cash Discount % to reduce the cost.

2. Create two of every item, one with tax exclusive (cc), another for cash inclusive (cash)

Thanks, #2 works! I created 2 of each item and 2 sales taxes for each state. I like it! I knew there had to be a work around somewhere.
