When ringing up items and the tax exempt card is not presented, what is the next step after selecting the “tax exempt” button?

In a situation where the tax exempt button has been selected but the tax exempt card has not been presented, the proper next step is to enter or scan the issued card. Being tax exempt generally requires valid documentation, such as a tax exempt card, which must be verified before proceeding with the transaction without taxes applied. Accurately entering or scanning the issued card confirms the customer’s status and ensures compliance with tax regulations.

This step is crucial as it authenticates the customer’s request for a tax exempt transaction. Without this verification, the transaction cannot correctly proceed under tax exempt terms. Ultimately, having the proper documentation helps protect both the customer and the store by ensuring that tax laws are followed and any potential legal issues are avoided. Other options might not fulfill the necessary requirement for completing the transaction correctly.
