    Is that why sales tax is always on its own line on the receipt and it’s own account number on the trial balance?

      Yea, we can process 4 different tax rates, and always list them separately.

      The exception is in locations where tax is included in the price: bars that take a lot of cash tend to want to make everything even dollars, or quarters at the most, so that bartenders don’t have to make a lot of change, and can work quickly.

      In these situations, we have to do the calculation backwards after the fact, but it’s still tracked as a separate tax in software.
