### **📹 Video tutorial**

### **How to get there**

From your terminal home screen, follow this path:

**More → Checkout → Tax Fee**

### **Step 1 — Open the More menu**

Tap the **More** button in the bottom-right corner of your terminal screen.

### **Step 2 — Go to Checkout**

Select **Checkout** from the menu.

### **Step 3 — Set your Tax Fee**

Tap **Tax Fee** and enter your VAT rate. For standard UK VAT, enter **20%**.

Once saved, VAT will be applied automatically to every transaction.

### **What happens after you enable VAT**

Once VAT is enabled, the terminal will automatically calculate and add the tax to every charge:

> 💡 **Example:** You enter £1.2 — the customer is charged £1.20 automatically, with the 20% VAT included.

The VAT amount will appear as a separate line on the customer's digital receipt.

### **Frequently asked questions**

**Q: Do I need to enable VAT on every terminal separately?** A: Yes. The Tax Fee setting is configured per terminal. If you have more than one terminal, repeat these steps on each device.

**Q: Can I set a different VAT rate?** A: Yes. Enter whichever rate applies to your business — for example 5% for reduced-rate goods. If you're unsure which rate applies to you, check with your accountant or visit [HMRC's VAT rate guidance](https://www.gov.uk/vat-rates).

**Q: Will VAT show on every receipt automatically once enabled?** A: Yes. Once the Tax Fee is set, it applies to all transactions and appears on every receipt without any extra steps.

**Q: Can I turn VAT off after enabling it?** A: Yes. Follow the same steps and set the Tax Fee to 0% or toggle it off to disable it.
