# Overriding Tax Rates

### **Overview**

Often the stores will have a different tax rate from what is set at the venue level. To override the venue rate tax and set the tax rate differently for a store the following needs to be done:

**1** - Create a tax code with the tax rate needed at the store (unless the tax code already exists, and this step can be skipped)

* **Management --> Transaction Codes --> Tax Codes**

**2** - Modify the tax rate at the store level through the CAS 

* **Management** > **Hierarchy** > **Modify Hierarchy** , Select the Store to modify
* When the store information populates the screen, select "**Override Default Tax Rate**"  (Press modify)
* It takes the user to the following screen. Complete the new tax rates for the store for the taxID's used at the store, and save.
