Taxes

Set up tax rules in SchedulingKit to automatically calculate and apply taxes to your services and extras during checkout.

Where to find it

• Finance → Taxes in the sidebar.

Creating a tax rule

1. Go to Finance → Taxes and click Create Tax.
2. Fill in:
   • Name — E.g. "Sales Tax", "VAT 20%", "GST".
   • Rate — Percentage (0–100). E.g. 20 for 20%.
   • Included in price — Toggle on if your displayed prices already include tax. Toggle off if tax is added on top.
   • Apply to all services — Automatically apply to all event types.
   • Apply to all extras — Automatically apply to all extras/add-ons.
3. Click Save.

Tax calculation

Tax added on top (exclusive)

When "Included in price" is off:

Tax = Price × (Rate / 100)
Total = Price + Tax

Example: $100 service with 10% tax → $10 tax → $110 total.

Tax included (inclusive)

When "Included in price" is on:

Tax = Price − (Price / (1 + Rate / 100))
Net price = Price − Tax

Example: $110 service with 10% inclusive tax → $10 tax → $100 net.

Applying to specific services

If "Apply to all services" is off, manually select which event types this tax applies to:

1. Edit the tax rule.
2. Click Apply to Services.
3. Select the event types from the list.
4. Save.

Applying to extras

If "Apply to all extras" is off, manually select which extras this tax applies to:

1. Edit the tax rule.
2. Click Apply to Extras.
3. Select the extras from the list.
4. Save.

Default tax

Mark a tax as default and it'll be pre-selected when creating new services or extras.

Enabling/disabling

Toggle a tax rule active/inactive without deleting it. Inactive taxes won't be applied to new bookings.

Multiple taxes

You can create multiple tax rules. If a service has multiple taxes applied, they're calculated independently and summed.

How taxes appear during booking

When a customer books a service with taxes:

• The booking summary shows the subtotal, each tax line, and the grand total.
• The invoice (if generated) includes itemized tax amounts.
• Tax details are included in the confirmation email.

Permissions

Tax management is available to users with the manage_billing permission.
