Use this guide when configuring the Printer.Ticket totals section for UAE VAT invoices and India GST invoices.
UAE VAT receipt behavior #
UAE customer-facing prices should be VAT-inclusive. The receipt should show Total before VAT, the VAT amount charged, and the final Total. UAE standard VAT is 5% unless the item is zero-rated or exempt.

</line>India GST receipt behavior #
For India, show the taxable value after discount and the tax amount charged. For intra-state sales, split GST equally into CGST and SGST. For inter-state sales, replace the CGST and SGST rows with one IGST row using ${ticket.printTax()}.

</line>Implementation notes #
- Replace only the existing
<!-- TAXES START-->to<!-- TAXES END-->block and keep the payment section below it unchanged. ticket.getTotal()is the final payable amount.ticket.getTax()is calculated after discounts are distributed across lines.ticket.getGrossTotalBeforeDiscount()is useful when a discount is applied.ticket.printAppliedDiscountTotal()prints the formatted discount amount.
