How do I set the delivery charge tax?

The delivery charge tax setting controls whether VAT is applied to the delivery fee charged to customers. You can set it to either zero-rated or standard-rated depending on your tax obligations.

Prerequisites

• A MyFoodFast POS and Back Office account
• Delivery charges already configured (see How do I set a Delivery Service Charge?)

Set the delivery charge tax rate

1. Log in to the Back Office.
2. Navigate to Setup > Online Ordering > Delivery.
3. Locate the Delivery Charge Tax setting.
4. Select one of the following options:
   • Zero rated -- no VAT is applied to the delivery charge.
   • Standard rated -- VAT is applied at the standard rate (e.g. 20% in the UK).
5. Click Save.
6. Click Update All to publish the change.

Sync the POS

1. Open MyOrderBox POS on your terminal.
2. Go to Settings > Sync.
3. Wait for the sync to complete.

The delivery charge on future orders will now reflect the selected tax rate.

Zero-rated vs standard-rated

• Zero-rated is commonly used when the delivery charge is treated as a separate service that is exempt from VAT.
• Standard-rated applies the normal VAT rate to the delivery charge, which is then included in tax reports.

Note: Tax treatment of delivery charges varies by jurisdiction. We strongly recommend consulting your accountant or tax adviser to determine the correct setting for your business.
