Using Fiscal Position in Point of Sale (PoS)¶
In some countries, there are regulations on changing the tax rate when there is a combination of the characteristics of the food (hot or cold, raw or cooked …) and the place of food (dining in or takeout or takeaway). Understanding these requirements, Viindoo software supports selecting different tax rates according to each situation by using the Fiscal Position feature in the Viindoo Point of Sale app.
