I am on KY my CPA informed me the taxes are being applied wrong on my system. We have a 3% restaurant tax locally which has to be applied and then the 6% tax has to be applied to the new total. Square support says it can not be done. Has anyone in Ky figured out a way to it?
Hi Dani128,
Seems KY has some unusual tax requirements. Just doing some searching - by KY state law, the 3% fee can not be lumped in with the 6% sales tax and must be itemized as a separate charge on the receipt so the receipt is showing two taxes. Although you are collecting the correct total amount (9%), it's not itemized. Square simply displays a total tax and does not itemize on the receipts it which is what many transaction processors do. One possible option would be to find a Developer you can do some behind the scenes custom coding. Square does have a Developer Forum. Another option is to submit a Feature Request explaining what you need - if there is enough demand for the same feature - anything is possible. Unfortunately, neither suggestion is quick fix. Perhaps some of the other Community Members have some thoughts or a possible work around.
