Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What if I have a second store location in a city with a different tax rate?  

A: If you have store locations in an area with different tax rates you will need a separate LifeSaver Software account for that location. 

Q: What if I need to sell something with a tax exemption?

A: If you are selling an item that is tax exempt but the majority of the sale is not exempt, you can select the Tax Exempt box for that item on the Invoice at the time of the sale.

Q: What if I sell some inventory that is taxed differently than the majority of my inventory?

A: There currently isn’t an option for this in LifeSaver Software. A work-around would be to temporarily change the tax rate as described above. 

Q: I often ship products to people in areas with a different tax rate than my own. How do I handle that?
