URGENT!!I need a function added to the Clover Station Duo to determine taxes automatically depending on the ORDER TOTAL not INDIVIDUAL ITEMS
I own a coffee shop in Ontario and am currently trying to use the Clover Station Duo. In Ontario our tax system is set that if a transaction is under $4 we are only to charge 5% on that purchase. As soon as an order transaction reaches $4.01 (so any purchase over $4.00) the system needs to automatically switch to a 13% tax. Currently you have it set up that individual items have a tax assigned to them. This does not work at food retailers in Ontario that sell items under $4.
Example:
You come in and purchase a $1.43 coffee. That coffee is under $4 so the government wants 5% tax to be applied. Bring the grand total to $1.50. (Before tax price $1.43 + 5% ($0.07) = $1.50)
Now if you want to purchase more than one coffee your order total will be more than $4.00. Therefore, you will be charged HST (any purchases over $4.00)
4 Coffees at $1.43 (4 x $1.43 = $5.72 before taxes)
SO as you can see the subtotal (before taxes are over $4.00) so 13% needs to be charged.
Subtotal + 13% tax = Grand total
( $5.72 + 13% ($0.75) =$6.47
Additionally, the function to assign an item with no tax needs to remain in effect. As any packaged food item is not required to be taxes as per the Government of Canadas tax system.
Example: We sell bags of our coffee but because it already is bagged up we are not providing a service therefore we do not need to charge taxes.
I have attached 2 links that i have refferend from for this suggestion. PLEASE take a look.

Has this not been looked into? In Ontario, it is a big issue!
