    RE: Sales Tax on Gift card sales

    In addition something about the feature - we support sales tax posted only on the HQ side at the time when financial voucher posted.

    When you need to get sales tax calculated and displayed in POS at the time when you issue Gift card - this is not supported feature

    Some details/explanation below:

    In Retail/Commerce we support ‘multi-purpose vouchers’ and this does not require (there is no law requirement for ‘multi-purpose vouchers’) to have sales tax calculated at POS side.

    Our gift cards apply only to ‘multi-purpose vouchers’ which is not a case for the law requirement (as an example there is a link (just any took from search machine) - https://erply.com/all-that-you-need-to-know-about-taxation-of-gift-cards-in-eu/ ). This law only applies to 'single-purpose vouchers'.

    By definition, a 'single-purpose voucher' is tied to a specific item or service. We do not support such a concept at all in our product. A gift card (which we use in Retail) is not tied to a particular item or service – it is basically a preloaded card that can be used to pay for anything – and it can be used multiple times.

    We have no concept of a 'single-purpose voucher' in our product so there is no way we can support this requirement. We could never support this requirement with current gift card logic as gift cards are not “single use” or tied to only being able to be used to pay for a specific product or service.

    Taken from the link provided above:
    The amendment only concerns single-purpose vouchers. A 'single-purpose voucher' is a voucher where the place of supply of the goods or services to which the voucher relates, and the VAT due on those goods or services, are known at the time the voucher is issued. Such vouchers are issued by the taxable person, who can calculate the VAT upon transfer. Single-purpose vouchers are issued in relation to the provision of a single specific product or service. The owner of this type of voucher can only use it to buy a certain product or service (e.g. the gift card of a restaurant, tanning salon or massage parlour).

    This concept applies most often to service industries – like a salon. Example:

    ..You want to pay for a friend to get a manicure. You walk into the salon and ask to purchase a gift certificate/card for a manicure. This is a single-purpose voucher. In this context, selling the single-purpose voucher means that your friend can only redeem that voucher for a manicure – if they ask for a haircut instead – that is not allowed. This is why the taxes are prepaid – because the retailer has ‘sold’ the manicure up front to you, to be redeemed later by your friend. They collect the taxes up front knowing that there won’t be any possibility of taxes being different upon redemption.

    This is not how our gift cards work – they are not tied or linked to any sort of product or service up front.

    If something different is required to be used in your stores, we suggest you to use some workarounds, create customization or some Add-on.
