Is there a way to charge sales tax on a specific percentage of an invoice total?

I need to charge sales tax on 80% of the invoice total; 20% is not subject to sales tax.

Unfortunately I don't believe you can only charge sales tax to a certain portion of an invoice or sale.

However you could either break the invoice into two invoices (80% taxed, then another for 20% non-taxed) or you could calculate what the actual percentage of tax is supposed to be. (example 5% on $100 sale would be $5, 80% taxed would be $4, so you would set your sales tax to 4% if the sales tax is 5% and only 80% of it is taxed)

The second option only works if everything you sell is 80% taxed, otherwise you'd have to set it up different tax rates depending on how many of your products take advantage of the 80% tax rate.

You can set multiple tax rates and have each apply to different items, so the second option might be "easier" to set up in advance in the event you want something set up so that you can just scan and move on.

Makes sense. Thanks!
