The Tax Group Code (Limitation) field on the Store Card holds the tax group for tax-exempted limitation lines. It is used with Set Up and Process EBT Payments limitations, where items paid with a SNAP EBT tender carry no sales tax. The POS checks the field when an EBT payment is made.
The tax-free treatment itself comes from the line's Tax Exempted setting. When an EBT tender pays a tax-exempted line, the POS sets the line's VAT % and VAT amount to 0, and applies VAT Prod. Posting Group (Limitation) if it is filled in.
The field does not restrict a store to a single tax group, and it does not block items with other tax groups from being sold.

|---|---|
| Tax Area Code | The tax jurisdiction for this store. Required for any tax calculation. |
| Tax Liable | When enabled, transactions at this store are subject to tax. Disable only for tax-exempt store locations. |
| Tax Group Code (Limitation) | The tax group for tax-exempted limitation lines (for example EBT). The POS checks this field when an EBT payment is made. Set it for stores that accept EBT payments. |
| VAT Prod. Posting Group (Limitation) | Optional. Specifies the VAT Product Posting Group applied to a POS transaction line that a limitation (for example EBT) marks as tax-exempt.
