#### **Important Note on Taxes When Using Both the Calendar and the POS**

If you use both the calendar and the POS system, your services from the calendar are carried over (synced) into the POS. This means the tax information you set for each service in the calendar is applied 1:1 in the POS. That's why it's important that the correct tax types are already set up in the calendar.

This applies even if you're tax-exempt. Even in the case of a tax exemption, a corresponding tax type with 0% VAT must be created and assigned to the relevant services.

The "No Tax" setting simply means that no specific tax type has been set. In this case, the POS system automatically applies the standard tax rate for the relevant country, which can lead to incorrect tax calculations. This is also relevant for online payments, since these likewise use the tax information stored in the calendar.

Please make sure the tax types and their assignment to each service in the calendar are always kept correct and up to date — especially if you apply a reduced tax rate or a tax exemption.

**Note:** Even with **online payment** enabled, having the correct tax set on your services is important, so it's shown correctly on invoices.
