Your business may require you to add taxes, like VAT (Value Added Tax) or GST (Goods and Service Tax) to your sales. Classcard allows you to add relevant taxes and attach them directly to your subjects, products, registration fees, locations, and courses, so the correct tax is applied automatically whenever that item is sold.
To create a tax
Navigate to the Billing menu on the left panel.
Select the Taxes tab under 'Setup' and click Add tax.
Fill in the details:
Name – e.g. 'Goods and Services Tax'
Short name – e.g. 'GST'. This is what shows up on invoices and in the cart on your online booking page.
Rate (%)
Description (optional) – for internal use only, not visible to customers
Toggle on Set as default for all items if you want this tax to be automatically applied to all your sellable items (subjects, products, registration fees, locations, courses). You can still remove it from individual items afterwards.
Click Add.
💡 A tax doesn't need to be default to be used. You can also add it to specific items one at a time from that item's setup page.
Here's a video on how to add a tax:
Where taxes are applied
Each tax is attached to a sellable item (subject, product, registration fee, location, or course) from that item's Add/Edit page, under the Taxes section. The invoice then calculates tax per line item based on what's attached to each item.
💡 Packages don't have their own tax setting. They inherit tax from the subjects, add-ons, and registration fees included in them.
Edit or delete a tax
To edit a tax, click on the specific tax to open it and make your changes. When you save, you'll see a confirmation that this update will only apply to new invoices and checkouts going forward. Past invoices are unaffected.
To remove a tax, click on the three vertical dots to the right of the specific tax row and choose the Delete option.
💡 Removing a tax from the Taxes page (or unmarking it as default) doesn't remove it from items that already have it attached. You'll need to remove it from each item individually if needed.
