About taxes
Fresha calculates tax for your sales using the tax rates set up in your workspace, which can be applied to services and products as a default rate. All applied taxes are shown on receipts and reflected in sales reports.
Tax requirements vary by country and region, so it’s important to confirm that your taxes are set up correctly.
Add a new tax rate
- From the main menu on the left of your screen, go to Settings.
- Click on the Sales category to manage your taxes.
- In the left menu, select Tax rates to set defaults.
- Click on the Add button and select New tax.
- In the tax view, enter the Tax name and Percentage rate.
- Click on the Add button in the top right to save the new tax.
Once saved, the tax rate will automatically appear at checkout. To combine multiple taxes into a group, click the add button and select New tax group. Each tax within the group will still be shown individually on the sales receipt and in your reports.

FAQs
Tax group names are used for internal reference within your workspace. On invoices, clients see the individual taxes that make up the group, rather than the tax group name itself.
