To Configure Tax Exempt within Connect, the user will first need to enable Allow Tax Exempt on the associated Terminal Roles - Calculations Tab.

Once Allow Tax Exempt has been enabled, the user will then proceed to the Options module and create the Reason named 'Tax Exempt' and apply the associated Tax Exempt code used locally at the Venue.

After the Tax Exempt Reason has been created, the user can now create the Tax Exempt Reasons Group from within the Options module.  

Once the Tax Exempt Reason Group has been created, click the newly created Tax Exempt Reason Group and select Add Reason to assign the Tax Exempt Reason.
