Calculating Sales Tax

Sales Tax Calculation

Sales tax is calculated at the Item Level, less any discounts and loyalty redemptions. For items subject to sales tax, tax is calculated on the selling price of each individual item and includes item-level and order-level discounts, and free item (Visits), dollar (Points), and event-based loyalty redemptions.

Secondary Tax Calculation

For items subject to Secondary Sales Tax, Tax is calculated at the Item Level, less any discounts and loyalty redemptions. Secondary Tax is charged in addition to the Primary Sales Tax for each item.
