Hi @Thj, thanks for following up on this! We currently don't have an update for when the ability to apply taxes to modifiers will be available yet, but I'll follow up on this thread when I have an update.
Is there more progress on this feature? In addition to the example of alcohol and mixer tax rates differing, we have dishes that come with a hot or cold side option - but these should be taxed differently for takeaways. For example, a fish and chips meal faces 20% VAT but if the side was a cold option (like potato salad), then the side is exempt from VAT. What is the best way to configure this?
There haven't been any recent developments that I can share, unfortunately.
As Tra mentioned below, if you have tax set up for your items, then the full price (items + modifiers) will be taken into consideration when the tax is calculated.
We'll share any updates on this thread as they come. We understand how this feature is important for many businesses, so thanks for sticking with us.
This feature would make my life soso much easier. The fact that it's missing is a major flaw limiting square's usability in my business.
Any word on progress on this front? I'm struggling to find a workaround short of adding hundreds of different items in order to add tax to them separately.
Hey @ibanezer21, welcome to the Seller Community! We don't have an update for this feature request at this time. But do keep an eye out, we'll be sure to announce any changes to this here, on the Seller Community. Let me know if there is anything else I can do!
The problem is, there is never an update. Do you actually follow it up or do you stick to a script? I brought this problem up 2 years ago and still nothing has been done. There are so many things, niggly things, that are wrong with Square. We bring them to your attention and nothing ever gets done.
Hey @Thj, thanks for getting back to me. I understand how frustrating this must be.
Our team does take on board feedback like this when it comes to our products. But even the best feature requests often take time. Our team must take multiple different factors into consideration when improving our products to address their limitations. Check out this article on The Lifecycle of Feature Requests and The Seller Community, which gives an explanation of how Square takes on board customer feedback when it comes to new product features.
