Lightspeed R series | Labor tax and rate

In Lightspeed R Series, you can define labor tax and labor rates to ensure your service-related sales are calculated correctly. This is especially useful if you run a repair shop, service-based business, or any operation where labor charges need to be applied alongside product sales.

This article explains how to:

  • Set up labor tax so it applies correctly to labor charges.

  • Define labor rates that determine how much customers are charged for labor services.


    Why This is Important

    Labor charges often require different tax rules than products. By configuring labor tax and rates, you can:

    • Ensure compliance with local tax regulations.

    • Standardize service pricing across your registers.

    • Save time during checkout by having predefined rates ready.


    By setting up labor tax and rates in the Lightspeed R Series, you streamline your service sales process, remain tax compliant, and maintain consistent pricing for your customers.
