Tax settings

Tax Settings is where you define the tax rates your clinic charges. Each rate is a tax group, and every product, service and gift card is linked to one.

📍 Where to find this: General Settings → Tax Settings

✅ What you can do

See the tax groups available to your clinic, including the ones MERIDIQ provides
Create your own tax group
Edit a tax group you created
Deactivate a group you no longer use, and bring it back later

🗂️ Understand the list

Each row is a tax group. The percentage on the right is the group's combined rate — the total of everything inside it.

Label	What it means
System Default	Provided by MERIDIQ for your country. Cannot be edited or deactivated
Tax Included in Price	Your prices already contain the tax
Tax Excluded from Price	Tax is added on top of your prices

ℹ️ The system groups you see depend on your clinic's registered country — a Swedish clinic sees the Swedish rates, a UK clinic sees the UK ones. Your country is set under General Settings → Company information.

ℹ️ Deactivated groups stay in the list, greyed out, so you can reactivate them at any time.

Tax Settings

➕ Add a tax group

Go to General Settings → Tax Settings.
Click + Add Tax Group.
Enter a Tax Group Name.
(optional) Add a Description.
Choose the Tax Behavior — Tax Included in Price or Tax Excluded from Price.
Under Tax Components, enter a Tax Component Name and a Tax Percentage %.
(optional) Click + Add Tax Component to add another part, and repeat.
Click Save.

Add Tax Group

ℹ️ Most groups need only one component. Several components are for places where tax is split into named parts — the group then charges their total.

⚠️ Clinics in Sweden and the United Kingdom must use Tax Included in Price. The other option is still selectable, but saving it fails with an error from the server rather than a message on the field.

ℹ️ Group names must be unique within your clinic. If a save is rejected, correct the name and save again rather than closing and starting over.

✏️ Edit a tax group

Find the group and click Edit.
Change the name, description, behaviour or components.
Click Save.

Edit Tax Group

⚠️ Editing a percentage takes effect immediately for every product, service and gift card still using that group. Change a rate only when the tax itself has changed — to price something differently, create a new group instead.

ℹ️ Receipts you have already issued are never rewritten. Each receipt stores the tax that applied at the time, so your sales history and VAT reports stay correct.

ℹ️ Groups marked System Default have no Edit button. To use a different rate, create your own group.

🚫 Deactivate or reactivate a group

Click Deactivate on the group.

It greys out immediately — there is no confirmation step.

To bring it back, click Activate on the same row.

⚠️ Deactivating hides the group from the Tax Rate list when you add or edit something new. Products and services already using it keep charging that rate. Move them to another group first if you want them to change.

ℹ️ Tax groups cannot be deleted, only deactivated — so nothing that references them can break.

🔗 Where your tax groups are used

Where	How it appears
POS products	A required Tax Rate field when adding or editing a product
Services	A required tax field on the service form
Gift cards	A Tax Rate field when issuing a gift card
Receipts	The tax breakdown on every receipt and refund
VAT reports	The figures reported per rate

💡 Set your tax groups up before you build your product and service lists, so you can pick the right rate as you go. To add products, see the POS section; for services, see Bookable services.
