Tax trouble
« on: January 22, 2013, 10:49:12 pm »

I live in Texas. The sale tax is 8.25%

I chose tax excluded when I created the menu price list.

I found the discrepancy between tax on ticket and tax on the report (or tax showed on the reprint ticket)

1. Tax on ticket was calculated by: ticket total * 0.0825
2. Tax showed on reprint ticket was calculated by multiply the price of single item then round it and add them together.

As a result, I got the wrong total sales report at the end of the work period.

Attached is three pictures of the same ticket but have different tax 3.09 and 3.12

Does anybody have the same issue ? Any help would be highly appreciated

Thank you

Hello ttduc. It looks like a rounding bug.
I've uploaded a new setup(2.99c) for fix.  Can you try with that?

Hello Emre,

Thank you very much for your prompt action.

The amount of both ticket and report now are unique.

However, the tax is greater than the actual tax amount 1 or 2 cents per ticket. If I have hundred of tickets a day, tax will be greater 1 or 2 dollars than the actual tax amount. Please kindly check it out.

Thank you

Hello ttduc, As I've promised critical bugs always have the highest priority. I'll always try to release fixes asap.

It won't be always greater than the actual tax. It might be greater or less than the amount that you calculate from the total amount. We calculate tax by ticket items and rounding is the cause of this difference.

If your tax rate does not differ by products you can use service templates instead. It will just add %8.25 to the ticket total as you expected.

In my case i have 6% tax therefore i have not yet noticed this differences.

However i would prefer to use tax template since you never know when a non tax item may come.
