Creating and Applying Taxes
The platform allows you to add taxes to your products, invoices and estimates. Taxes update the total based on a % tax rate. They are also a good way to account for processing fees!
Note: At this time taxes may not be applied to service prices and cannot be applied at booking.
Creating a Tax
- Go to Settings and select Billing & Invoicing.
- Click on the Taxes & Tips tab.
- Click the + Add Tax button to create a new tax.
- Fill in the tax name, rate, and specify which items the tax will apply to.
Note: To add a new tax, simply click the + Add Tax button. If you'd like to remove a tax, click the more options icon
and select Delete tax.
Applying a Tax to an Invoice/Estimate
Taxes are applied to individual line items in invoices and estimates.
- To add a tax, click the ⋮ icon next to any line item on your invoice or estimate and select Edit.
- Click on a Tax field. If you have previously defined taxes, they will appear in the dropdown for you to select.
- Create a new tax if needed by selecting Add a new tax (the new tax you create will also be added to your account's list of taxes under Settings > Payments).
- In the popup, enter a description for the tax and the tax rate.
- Click Add.
- The tax will be applied to the relevant item and update the total. Continue applying tax to as many items on the invoice/estimate as needed. You can add up to 3 taxes per item.
Important: The tax is only applied to the line item you edited. If you need to apply the tax to every item on the invoice/estimate, make sure to edit and apply the same tax to all of them.
Applying a Tax to a Product

Tip: If you'd like to remove any taxes on a case by case basis, simply edit the line item and remove the tax. You can even save these changes to your My Products list by using the checkbox.
