FAQs:

  1.  What's the right option for Canadian businesses?
    • Canadian gyms should avoid taxation of processing fees unless otherwise advised by legal counsel. As a result, the correct choice is Never Taxable.
  2. Why would I choose Always Taxable?
    • This option locks in a set tax rate on the processing fee that will apply even if there is nothing taxable elsewhere in the transaction. 
    • Tip: This is particularly useful for collecting tax on processing fees when you wouldn't collect tax otherwise, like with the sale of certain foods. 
  3. How do I make sure things keep running the same as before Wodify made this update? 
    • The default selection, Inherit from Invoice, is the traditional POPF tax behavior that our clients have already been utilizing. 
    • Tip: This is especially useful for invoices with multiple line items - like if a member wants to add the purchase of a t-shirt to their upcoming membership renewal invoice.
  4. What are the differences in options?
    • Inherit from Invoice, which looks at your invoice items to see if any are taxable, and applies tax to the POPF with the same rate as the highest-percentage tax rate of your invoice items.
    • Never taxable, which never taxes the POPF
    • Always taxable, which will require you to enter a tax rate to apply when nothing in your invoice is otherwise taxable.
