Tax for EFTPOS Surcharge

Normally, when EFTPOS is used and includes a surcharge, the system displays the extra amount as a tip by default.
Instead of showing the extra charges as tips, you can change the settings to a tax type labeled "EFTPOS Surcharge."

As seen in the screenshot above, a bill of $100 becomes $101.50 due to the surcharge from EFTPOS.

On the report, the $1.50 is parked under the Tips section.
To reclassify this as an EFTPOS Surcharge Tax type, follow the steps below:

Second, select Tax. Click on the + button on the left top.
