This section controls:
Individual tax percentages
Whether taxes apply to all services or all products
Grouping multiple taxes together for easier application
Important Notes
Each item can have only one tax component
If multiple taxes are required, you must use a Tax Group
Include or Exclude Tax
Purpose
This setting controls whether tax is included in item prices or added separately during billing, for both services and products.
Services, Memberships, Gift Vouchers, etc.
Choose how tax should be applied to non-product saleable items.
Include Tax – Tax is already included in the item price, and the invoice shows the tax breakup without changing the final amount.
Exclude Tax – Tax is calculated and added on top of the item price during billing.
Products (Unit Price)
Choose how tax should be applied to product unit prices.
Include Tax – The product price already includes tax, and no additional tax is added at checkout.
Exclude Tax – The product price excludes tax, and tax is added separately to the invoice.
Note
These settings apply only to newly created bills and do not affect existing invoices. Changing this setting updates how prices and tax totals are calculated and displayed on future invoices.
