# Add a Tax/VAT number in Jovvie Point of Sale

Section: Jovvie Point of Sale > Take payments

> Record a customer's Tax/VAT ID on the sale and, if your station allows it, remove tax for that sale.

Some customers, such as businesses, have a Tax/VAT ID. This page shows you how to record the ID type and number on the sale. Depending on your station’s settings, the register can also remove tax from the sale.

## Before you start

- An administrator or shop manager must turn on **Enable Tax/VAT ID Type Settings** in the station’s **Tax** tab. If it is off, **Add Tax/VAT number** does not appear. See [Set up taxes for a station](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/set-up/taxes/).
- Sign in to the register. See [Open the Jovvie Point of Sale register and sign in](https://docs.jovvie.com/point-of-sale/sell/open-the-register/).

## Add a Tax/VAT number

1. Tap the three-dot menu in the cart totals area.
2. Tap **Add Tax/VAT number**. The **Manage Tax/VAT** screen opens.
3. Under **Tax/VAT ID Type**, choose the type from the list on the left.
4. In the box next to it, type the customer’s Tax/VAT number.
5. Tap **Apply**.

The type and number are saved with the order.

To change them, open **Add Tax/VAT number** again, update the fields, and tap **Apply**. Tap **Close** to leave without saving.

## Remove tax for this sale

What the register does with tax depends on the **Tax/VAT ID Behavior** setting on the station’s **Tax** tab:

- **Tax/VAT not allowed to be removed**: tax cannot be removed using the Tax/VAT options.
- **Allow Tax/VAT removed manually**: staff can remove tax from the sale themselves.
- **Remove automatically Tax/VAT**: the register removes tax automatically.
- **Remove automatically if Customer has Tax/VAT ID**: the register removes tax when the customer has a Tax/VAT ID.
- **Remove automatically if Order has Tax/VAT ID**: the register removes tax when a Tax/VAT ID is added to the order.
- **Remove automatically if Customer and Order has Tax/VAT ID**: the register removes tax when both have one.

If the station allows manual removal, the **Manage Tax/VAT** screen shows a red button.

1. Open **Add Tax/VAT number**.
2. Tap **Remove Tax/VAT**. The cart totals update without tax.
3. To charge tax again, open the same screen and tap **Add Tax/VAT**.

Only remove tax when you are allowed to under your local tax rules. An administrator or shop manager decides which setting your station uses.
