North America

The North America localization for LS Central extends Business Central with sales tax support for the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It calculates and applies destination-based sales tax to POS transactions using Tax Areas, Tax Jurisdictions, and Tax Groups, covering multi-level US tax authorities (state, county, city) and Canadian federal and provincial tax types (GST, PST, HST).

LS Central also supports Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) payments at the POS, including both food assistance (EBT SNAP) and EBT Cash, so retailers can accept government benefit payments from eligible customers.
