When a customer purchases a gift voucher, they are purchasing stored value that can be redeemed at a later date. Because no service or product has been provided at the time of purchase, taxes are typically not applied to the gift voucher itself. Why Taxes Are Not Applied to Gift Voucher Purchases A gift voucher represents a future purchase rather than a completed transaction for a service or product. For example: - A customer purchases a $100 gift voucher. - The voucher is stored for future use. - No service has been delivered yet. Because the voucher is functioning as stored value, taxes are generally not assessed at the time of purchase. When Taxes Are Typically Applied Taxes are commonly applied when the gift voucher is redeemed for a taxable service or product. Example: 1. A customer purchases a $100 gift voucher. 2. The customer later uses the voucher to book an activity or purchase a taxable product. 3. Applicable taxes are calculated on the booking or product at the time of redemption. This ensures taxes are associated with the actual service or product being delivered. How This Affects Resova Resova's gift voucher functionality is designed around the concept that gift vouchers are stored value rather than taxable services. As a result: - Tax settings may not apply to gift voucher purchases. - Taxes are generally expected to be collected when the voucher is redeemed for a taxable service or product. - Configurations that attempt to use tax settings as additional fees may not apply to gift voucher transactions. Important Note Tax laws and regulations vary by location. Businesses should consult their accountant, tax professional, or local tax authority to determine the appropriate tax treatment for gift vouchers in their jurisdiction. - [General](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/general?hsLang=en) - [FAQs](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Getting Started](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Accounts Menu](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#accounts-menu) - [Help Icon (?)](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/getting-started?hsLang=en#help-icon) - [Settings](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Settings](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/settings?hsLang=en#general-settings) - [Booking Site Settings](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/settings?hsLang=en#booking-site-settings) - [Emails and Messaging](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/settings?hsLang=en#emails-and-messaging) - [Calendar](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/calendar?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Modes](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/calendar?hsLang=en#modes) - [Misc](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/calendar?hsLang=en#misc) - [Create](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/calendar?hsLang=en#create) - [Items View](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/calendar?hsLang=en#items-view) - [Reports](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/reports?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Marketing (Integrations)](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/integrations?hsLang=en#marketing-integrations) - [Productivity](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/integrations?hsLang=en#productivity) - [Google Tag Manager (GTM) - Getting Started](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/integrations?hsLang=en#google-tag-manager-gtm-getting-started) - [Advanced GTM Configurations](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/integrations?hsLang=en#advanced-gtm-configurations) - [Inventory](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/inventory?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Extras](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/inventory?hsLang=en#extras) - [Items](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/inventory?hsLang=en#items) - [Resources](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/inventory?hsLang=en#resources) - [Gift Vouchers](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/inventory?hsLang=en#gift-vouchers) - [Customers](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/customers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [All Customers](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/customers?hsLang=en#all-customers) - [Unassigned Waivers](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/customers?hsLang=en#unassigned-waivers) - [Payments](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/payments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQ](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/payments?hsLang=en#faq) - [Subscription](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/subscription?hsLang=en) - [Marketing](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/marketing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Discounts](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/marketing?hsLang=en#discounts) - [Cart Abandonment](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/marketing?hsLang=en#cart-abandonment) - [Customer Reviews](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/marketing?hsLang=en#customer-reviews) - [FOMO Badge](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/marketing?hsLang=en#fomo-badge) - [Purchases](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/purchases?hsLang=en#main-content) - [All Bookings](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/purchases?hsLang=en#all-bookings) - [All Transactions](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/purchases?hsLang=en#all-transactions) - [All Gift Purchases](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/purchases?hsLang=en#all-gift-purchases) - [POS](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/pos?hsLang=en) - [Migrations](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/migrations?hsLang=en) - [Playbook](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center/playbook?hsLang=en) [![Resova\_byCLubspeed-1](https://info.resova.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Resova_byCLubspeed-1.png?width=720&height=93&name=Resova_byCLubspeed-1.png "Resova_byCLubspeed-1")](https://info.resova.com/resova-knowledge-center?hsLang=en) Copyright © 2024, Club Speed, LLC
