Peblla assists you with tax settings during the onboarding process. If you need to make changes later, you can return to this page and update your settings.

Note:

  1. Different tax rates can be applied to various categories. Items within the same category have the same tax setup.

  2. The to-go tax rate will be applied to all pickup, delivery, and take-out orders.

📖 Tutorial

Tax Configuration

Navigate to Peblla Store Portal - [Settings] - [Taxes Settings].

The default tax rate will be applied to all items unless otherwise stated. If you want to modify tax rates for certain items, click [+ Add Taxes] and input a different name and tax rate.

For customers residing in California:

If to-go items have a different tax rate for certain states, please check the [To-Go Tax Rate] box and enter the applicable rate.


Use the red button on the right to delete a tax setting. Please note that the first tax item or any tax item currently in use cannot be deleted

Combined Taxes

For easier tax reporting, you can also choose to break down your taxes. Take the city of New Orleans for example, instead of applying one sales tax of 9.45%, you could choose to have two default tax rates (State sales tax of 4.45% and New Orleans Parish of 5%).

Binding Tax Rate to Category

Navigate to Peblla Store Portal - [Menu] - [Categories] - [Edit Category], then choose the corresponding category.

The default tax rate will be applied to all categories unless otherwise indicated.

For special tax rates, click on [Special] and apply multiple taxes.

Understanding Tax Rounding and Tax Discrepancies

Peblla uses the Half Rounding method when calculating taxes. This means when a tax value ends in .5, it is rounded up to the next whole number.

What is Half Rounding?

  • Rounds .5 and above up, and anything below .5 down

    • Examples:

      • 3.5 → 4

      • 4.4 → 4

      • 4.5 → 5

Why You Might See Small Discrepancies

Taxes on Peblla are rounded at the item level, not at the check subtotal. This means:

  • Each item’s tax is calculated and rounded individually

  • The total tax amount may differ slightly from what you'd get by applying tax to the subtotal

At this time, there is no setting to apply tax rounding at the check level, which is why you may occasionally notice small discrepancies when cross-checking totals.
