Chicago Sweetened Beverage Tax

[Christian.Ching]

Hello Everyone,

I have Micros 3700 and I am having a hard time trying to set up this new Sweetened Beverage Tax that has been passed in Chicago which states that for every ounce of sweetened beverage sold, the customer should be charged a 1 cent. I.E.: If a customer asks for a bottle of 8oz Coca Cola priced at $2.50 then I have to charge:

Subtotal $2.50
11.5% sales Tax
Plus $0.08 for the 8oz bottle

I tried to add a new tax but the only options I see are for percentages, not specific amounts.

Thanks.

Christian

You won't be able to utilize the standard tax rate programming that you are accustomed to, you will need to use the Florida Tax Surcharge option. Take a look at this thread
