Tax Rates

If your business is required to collect tax, you can set up one or more tax rates in EquipDash. Once created, these rates can be applied to products, experiences, or your entire catalog.

Creating a Tax Rate​

  1. Click Settings in the sidebar.
  2. Select Taxes from the settings menu.
  3. Click + Add new tax.
  4. Fill in the following:
    • Tax rule name -- a label for this tax rate (e.g., "GST", "VAT", "State Sales Tax").
    • Tax rate (%) -- the tax percentage (e.g., 10 for 10%).
    • Included in price? -- select Tax included in price if your listed prices already include tax, or Tax not included in price if tax should be added on top of the listed price.
  5. Click Create tax rule.

The Add new tax rule form with Tax rule name, Tax rate, and Included in price fields

Managing Tax Rates​

Your existing tax rates are listed on the Taxes settings page. The table shows Tax name, Rate, Included in price?, and Actions columns. From here you can:

  • Edit a tax rate by clicking the edit icon to change its name, percentage, or inclusive/exclusive setting.
  • Delete a tax rate by clicking the delete icon. You will be asked to confirm first.
caution

Deleting a tax rate removes it from all products and experiences it is currently applied to. Historical bookings keep their original tax calculations.

Applying Tax to Products and Experiences​

Once you have created a tax rate, apply it to individual products or experiences:

  1. Open any product or experience.
  2. Go to the Pricing tab.
  3. Select the Tax Rate from the dropdown.
  4. Click Update.

If a product or experience has no tax rate assigned, it is treated as tax-free.

Tax-Inclusive vs. Tax-Exclusive​

ModeHow it worksExample (10% tax on a $100 item)
Tax InclusiveThe price you set already includes taxCustomer pays $100 (includes $9.09 tax)
Tax ExclusiveTax is added on top of the listed priceCustomer pays $110 ($100 + $10 tax)

Choose whichever mode matches your local regulations and how you prefer to display prices.

Things to Keep in Mind​

  • You can have multiple tax rates (e.g., different rates for products vs. experiences, or for different regions).
  • Changing a tax rate does not retroactively update existing bookings. Only new bookings use the updated rate.
  • Tax breakdowns appear on booking confirmation emails, payment receipts, and revenue reports.
  • Consult your accountant or tax advisor to determine the correct rates and settings for your region.
