Assign a POS Tax to a Tank
Most of the time the tax you apply when you sell one of your products is based on the location of your business. This is known as a Point of Origin tax. However, you may also have products (like tank rentals) where the taxes are applied based on the location of the customer. This is known as a Point of Sale (or POS) tax. If this is the case, it's a three step process to make sure the appropriate tax is associated with the appropriate product at the appropriate tank location.
