Will tax group names appear on invoices?

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.

How taxes work

Fresha calculates tax automatically on sales using the tax rates set up in your workspace, which can be applied to services and products as a default rate or assigned to specific locations.

You can control how tax is calculated by choosing whether retail prices include or exclude tax in your workspace settings. This determines whether tax is added at the point of sale or included in the displayed price. 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 before issuing receipts.
