How Tax Is Calculated

Order Tax

Tax at the order/basket/POS level in Aurora is calculated to the nearest whole penny, e.g:

34.99 = VAT of 5.83 (rounded down from 5.8316666).

26.99 = VAT of 4.50 (rounded up from 4.4983334).

3.99 = VAT of 0.67 (rounded up from 0.665).

Please note that Aurora does not calculate Tax for use in VAT Returns for you, only at POS. If you wish to generate VAT returns, you should seek advice from an independent Accountancy Firm to ensure your VAT returns are accurate.
