Step 1
Verified starting point
Open Settings → Tax settings. The controls are Charge tax, Tax name, Tax percentage, Menu price treatment, and Business tax registration number.
- The screen states the calculation order
- The restaurant’s adviser must determine the legal rule
Step 2
Collect the approved tax rule
Before editing DashDine, obtain the Tax name, Tax percentage, inclusive or exclusive treatment, and Business tax registration number from the restaurant's qualified adviser. This guide explains the controls; it does not determine the legal rate.
- Do not copy another restaurant's tax setup
- Record who approved the rule and its effective date
Step 3
Save the tax configuration
Go to Settings → Tax. Enter Tax name and Tax percentage. Under Menu price treatment, choose Tax added at checkout for exclusive pricing or the included option when menu prices already contain the tax. Enter the registration number and select Save Changes.
- Use the exact percentage approved by the adviser
- Confirm whether discounts and fees require separate accounting treatment
Step 4
Verify calculations and reports
Place representative cash and online-payment test orders with low, high, discounted, delivery, and refunded values. Compare the item lines, subtotal, discount, tax, fees, total, receipt, and Reports export with an independent calculation.
- Test around the effective-date boundary when a rule changes
- Ask finance to review the first live report
