In addition to reporting Excise tax, Metrc allows California retailers to report City, County, and Sales taxes to Metrc with sales and deliveries. To help retailers in CA with these new reporting features, Dutchie has added a new Tax Type field on the Tax configuration page in the Backoffice. This field will allow users to select a tax type to report.
