Fully optional
If your shop doesn't charge tax, switch it off and receipts come out without it entirely.
An ELKASHIER feature
Tax calculated right — or switched off entirely
Not every shop charges tax. Switch it off with one tap, and if you need it: set the rate, the tax registration number, and whether your prices already include VAT (as is usual in Egypt) or have it added on top.

Why it matters
Tax calculated right — or switched off entirely
Your rate and number
Set the tax rate and registration number, and they print on the receipt correctly.
Inclusive or added
Set prices as VAT-inclusive (as in Egypt) or have tax calculated and added on top of the price.
Shown clearly
Tax is broken out as a clear line on screen and on the receipt, so your numbers add up.

Common questions
VAT, done properly
Can I switch tax off?
Yes, tax is optional. If your shop doesn't charge it, switch it off and invoices come out with no tax.
My prices include tax — is that OK?
Yes, set prices as tax-inclusive (as is usual in Egypt) and the app breaks the tax out of them, or adds it on top of the price.
Does the tax number show on the receipt?
Yes, your tax registration number prints on the receipt along with the tax amount as a clear line.
