Report Structure

The report is split into two sections: Taxable Customers and Tax Exempt Customers. Each section includes columns for Amount, Sales Tax, and Total w/ Tax.

Taxable Customers

For customers who are subject to paying sales tax, the report includes the following rows:

  • Taxable Products: Products subject to sales tax.
  • Non-Taxable Products: Products not subject to sales tax.
  • Taxable Delivery Fees: Includes any delivery fees, such as timed delivery, for taxable orders.
  • Non-Taxable Delivery Fees: Delivery fees not subject to sales tax.
  • Tips: Collected tips for taxable orders.
  • Adjustments: Net value of order modifications, including canceled orders, full/partial refunds, and additional charges.
  • Total: Sum of all rows above for each column.

Tax Exempt Customers

For customers exempt from sales tax (e.g., customers with a Tax Exempt ID), the report includes:

  • Products: All products purchased by tax-exempt customers.
  • Delivery Fees: All delivery fees, including timed delivery, for tax-exempt customers.
  • Tips: Collected tips from tax-exempt customers.
  • Adjustments: Net value of order adjustments.
  • Total: Sum of all rows above for each column.

Note: Sales Tax cells for tax-exempt rows will always display as $0, as these customers are not charged sales tax.


Additional Information

  • Any new orders or updates are included when the report refreshes approximately every hour.
  • The Adjustments row reflects the net values of canceled orders, full/partial refunds, and any additional charges.
  • This report captures data for both orders and paid invoices, covering website, POS, and marketplace orders.
