I need to charge taxable and non taxable sales in same location

[candycrain55]

We have some sales that we need to add tax others are tax included...how do you do that?

[VanKalkerFarms]

each item that you create you ca set to be either taxable or non-taxable and you can even set multiple rates and choose which one.  https://squareup.com/help/us/en/article/5404-create-and-manage-items-with-square-point-of-sale

In my jurisdiction the sale of taxable spirits must include a non-taxable 10-cent container deposit. There appears to be no way to set this up using Square.

[VanKalkerFarms]

you would have to set up a separate item for deposits that is non-taxable.  There are so many different tax laws in the 1,000s and 1,000s of different tax jurisdictions that they aren't all built directly in.

Thanks, yes I figured as much. I have done that as a short-term solution, but it's hardly an ideal option as I will have to remember each time I sell a bottle to add the fee, or a case of bottles add six fees (pain in the butt). Then if I forget to add it, I pay it out of my own pocket – which is why it would be preferable if Square would allow grouping of purchases following a "If This, Then That" style of programming logic. (i.e. if a bottle is sold, attach a non-taxable container fee. Seems so simple, right?

Cheers.
