# Removing Tax When Ordering

Sometimes you need to remove tax from an order. This could be for a tax-exempt customer, a special promotion, or another valid reason.

## Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open the **sidebar menu**.
2. Select **Register** under the **POS** section.
3. Add items to the order as usual.
4. Remove the tax:
   - **Per item** -- Select the item you want to modify, find the tax section, and check **Exclude Tax** to remove tax for that item.
   - **Entire order** -- Go to **Summary**, click the **Menu** button below, and select **Remove Tax** to remove tax from the whole order.
5. Review the order summary to confirm the tax has been removed.
6. Complete the sale. The receipt will reflect the updated tax amount.

## Tips

- Some stores require manager approval to remove tax. If you do not see the option, check with your admin.
- Use the notes field to record why you removed tax (for example, a tax-exempt customer or charity event).
- Only remove tax when your local laws or store policy allow it.
- Always review the final total before completing the order.

## Best Practices

- Train staff on when it is appropriate to remove tax.
- Keep records of tax-exempt sales for reporting and compliance.
- Review your tax settings regularly to match current regulations.
