Settings : How to Update Sales Tax Percentages

Article Contents: When your local sales tax rate changes, you’ll need to update Club Caddie to make sure new transactions charge the correct amount. This article walks you through creating a new tax type and applying it to your inventory items.

NOTE: Club Caddie does not allow editing existing tax types. You must create a new one with the updated rate. Old tax types are kept so your historical reports stay accurate — do not delete them.

If you’re a California course looking for a rate-change guide specific to your state, including how to look up your current CDTFA rate, see:

Step by Step:

Step 1: Navigate to Settings (gear icon, top right), then click Tax Management from the left menu.

 
 
 

Step 2: In the Tax List column, click Add Tax Type.

Step 3: In the pop-up, fill in the following:

  • Name: Give it a clear name that includes the rate and date, so it’s easy to identify later. Example: Sales Tax 8.75% — Apr 2026
  • Chart of Accounts: Select your tax account.
  • Rate: Enter the percentage as a number only — no % symbol. Example: 75

Step 4: Click Save. The new tax type will appear in your Tax List.

Step 5: Now assign the new rate to your inventory items. Go to Settings > Inventory Center. Double-click an item, select the new rate from the Tax Group dropdown, and click Update. Repeat for each item that needs the updated rate.


TIP: Work through your inventory by category to stay organized — green fees first, then merchandise, then food and beverage. It’s easy to miss an item if you’re jumping around.

NOTE: If your facility uses Tax Groups (multiple taxes combined), you’ll also need to create a new Tax Group that includes the updated tax type. See the Tax Management Overview article for instructions.
