Question
How can I configure a tax amount for a menu item that requires a flat tax rate per item (Examples: water bottles, plasticware, etc.)?
How do I assign a fixed tax rate to a menu or menu item?
Answer
If your business is part of a Toast Multilocation Management (MLM) or Enterprise account with Toast, use the Toast Platform Guide for more information on how to assign and adjust your taxes.
Per the terms of the Merchant Agreement between you and Toast, you acknowledge and agree that Toast has no obligation to determine whether taxes apply to your business or transactions, or to calculate, collect, report, or remit any taxes to any tax authority arising from any payment.
