POS for Anchorage convenience, grocery and liquor stores

No. Anchorage is one of the few large Alaska cities that charges no local sales tax at all, and voters have turned down proposals to add one more than once; the municipality funds itself mainly through property tax instead. That's different from most of the state: cities like Juneau add around 5% and Kodiak up to 7%, and Wasilla, Kenai, Sitka, Palmer, Seward and Homer all charge something. A Storeveu register in Anchorage simply rings a flat $0, the same as the state baseline, with no local jurisdiction lookup needed for this particular store.

Yes, there's a layer on top of the state ABC Board. Every alcohol licence application for a premises inside Anchorage also goes through the Municipal Assembly, which reviews it and issues either a waiver of protest or a formal protest recommendation under municipal code, and requires a separate Special Land Use Permit for Alcohol before you can operate. The Assembly also sets Anchorage's own sale-start times by ordinance: package and liquor stores can begin off-premise Sunday sales at 10am rather than the previous noon start, and restaurants can begin service at 8am, though bars, nightclubs, breweries, wineries and distilleries were excluded from that change and stay on the state-law minimum. Storeveu's role-scoped access keeps that licence paperwork and store setup limited to the owner and manager roles who handle it, and the date-of-birth prompt at checkout still checks every alcohol sale against 21 no matter what hour you're open.

Yes. Anchorage bans single-use plastic checkout bags and requires every grocery, convenience and liquor store in the municipality to charge a mandatory per-bag fee, set locally somewhere in a 10 to 50 cent range. SNAP and WIC customers are exempt from the charge. The rule has been in force since September 2019, was briefly paused during the 2020 emergency, and has been back since September 2021, and it only applies inside Anchorage's own municipal boundary, not statewide. Storeveu rings the charge as its own non-taxable per-department line so it stays separate from your taxable subtotal.

No, and there isn't a separate meals tax to worry about either. Anchorage has no general local sales tax, so there's nothing for a city meals or beverage tax to stack on top of: your hot case, rotisserie chicken and fountain drinks all ring at the same 0% as the rest of the store. That's a genuinely local answer: Anchorage carries no local sales tax at all, so there's nothing here to layer a meals tax on top of. Storeveu's per-department tax rules keep that setting consistent across your Anchorage store without you needing to configure a special rate for the deli case.
