Retail | Oklahoma Tax Options Setup

The information in this article will walk you through setting up the Tax Options for Oklahoma.

Please consult with your Tax Professionals when configuring BLAZE to your specific needs.

Overview

Veterans in Oklahoma do not pay State Sales Tax.  Their orders will only be subject to the Excise Tax. 

• Shop Information - State
• Tax Options
• Adult Use vs. Medicinal - MMIC vs. Veteran
• Veteran Member 

Shop Information - State

• Global Settings > Current Shop settings >Shop Information
• Verify the state is set to Oklahoma

NOTE:  Veteran Member Level will only be visible to Oklahoma shops

 

Tax Options

• Global Settings > Current Shop Settings > Tax Option > Cannabis Tax
• Click on the Edit button
• Set the Tax Option to  Complex

NOTE:  Complex entails that different tax rates can be set based on the specific consumer type. This is most applicable to states with variable tax rates based on a member's consumer type (i.e., Veteran). 

• Tax names can be customized to display a different name than the traditional options.
• In the Tax Names section, click Edit on the Federal Tax line
• Change the Display Name from Federal to Cannabis Excise Tax
• Click SAVE

Adult Use vs. Medicinal - MMIC vs. Veteran

 

You will need to add tax rates to each consumer type in BLAZE. Fill in the following information for each Consumer Type*:

• Name: Name of the traditional option in BLAZE
• Display Name: Name that displays to the customer when checking out / on their receipt
• Tax Rate: Numeric value of the tax rate
• Compound: Should be set to No for Oklahoma
• Tax Order: Pre or Post.  See the Post-Tax vs. Pre-Tax  support article for more detail
  • Post:  Your tax option will default as a "post-tax" calculation, meaning that the rates will be added to the final subtotal. After taxes are calculated, there will be a new final total.
  • Pre: The pre-tax option will still calculate a value based on the specific rates but NOT affect the final subtotal. With this option enabled, BLAZE will reverse engineer the applicable tax rates starting from the final total.
• Active: If enabled, the tax rate will be applied

 

 

• Repeat this setup for Non-Cannabis products with Tax information specific to Oklahoma

Veteran Member 

NOTE: Veteran members need to have the Consumer Type of Veteran in their member profile to be exempt from State Sales Tax.

• Retail > Members
• Select the member or click the ADD MEMBER button
• Complete the member information
• Consumer Type: Veteran
• Click SAVE
