Tax rates with effective dates.

Statutory rates carry effective dates. A sale uses the rate in force when it is rung, while historical records retain the tax recorded at the time of sale.

Ontario · sales-tax transitionEffective-dated
GST 5% + RST 8%before 2010-07-01
HST 13.00%2010-07-01 → present
Before July 2010July 1, 2010Today

Ontario introduced HST on July 1, 2010, combining the 5% federal GST and 8% provincial RST into a 13% HST. This illustrates how an effective-dated tax configuration preserves the tax recorded with each sale.

Setting up your catalog.

How do modifier groups work?

Groups are reusable, with single- or multi-select, min/max constraints, free picks, and per-option prices — build size, milk, and toppings once and attach them to any product.

How does the tax engine handle rate changes?

Statutory rates carry effective dates and are kept current for you. A sale uses the rate in force when it is rung, and its recorded tax lines never change afterwards.

Does POS Velocity handle Canadian sales tax?

Yes. The statutory tax engine covers every Canadian province and territory — HST, GST, PST, QST and RST — with tax classes and rate rules, and receipt templates can print your registration numbers.

How fast do catalog changes reach my terminals?

Saved catalog changes are sent to connected terminals automatically, typically within seconds; delivery timing depends on connectivity.

How do I set up a menu quickly?

Duplicate a product with its site prices, modifiers, and photos, get warned when a SKU or barcode is already in use, and archive instead of deleting. New accounts also start from a preset for their kind of business — units, order types, and product kinds.

Bring your menu. We'll model it live.

Send us your product list and tax setup. We'll mock it onto a real PAX terminal and walk you through the modifier flow + tax engine end-to-end.
