Countries & tax

One order, three counters: USA, UAE and Pakistan.

The same box — one tres leches and six conchas — rung up in Houston, Dubai and Lahore. Different currency, tax, date and paper. The software handles all three; these are example prices and example tax rates.

Per country

What does the software handle in each country?

Six settings decide whether a POS feels local. All six are per business, set once during sign-up.

Country, currency and tax questions

Can the POS show prices with VAT included?

Yes. In the UAE, enter prices with 5% VAT included and the receipt shows the VAT portion; this is how UAE customers expect to see prices. In the US, prices are entered without tax and sales tax is added at the till.

Can I have different tax rates on different products?

Yes. Tax groups combine rates (for example a state and a city rate) and each product uses the group that applies to it.

Is GetBakeryPOS certified for e-invoicing or fiscal printers?

We make no certification claims for the US, UAE or Pakistan. For Saudi Arabia there is a ZATCA e-invoicing add-on; ask on the demo if you also trade there.

Does it file my taxes?

No. It records tax on every sale and gives you tax reports for your accountant or filing; you or your accountant file the return.

Which countries do you sell in?

The USA, the UAE and Pakistan, with local prices and support. Bakeries elsewhere can ask; the software itself handles any currency and tax setup.

Can one business have shops in two countries?

Each country is usually run as its own business so currency and tax stay clean. Ask on the demo if you need a combined view.

Can receipts print in Arabic or Urdu?

Yes. Receipt layouts follow the language you choose for the location, including right-to-left scripts. See languages.

What payment methods work in each country?

Cash and cards (through your processor) everywhere, plus any custom method you add: Zelle or Venmo in the US, Apple Pay in the UAE, JazzCash, Easypaisa and bank transfer in Pakistan.
