POS built for Nebraska convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Nebraska's state rate is 5.5%, and cities and counties can only add tax in fixed steps of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 1.75% or 2%, and only after voters approve it at the ballot box. A rate above 1.5% needs a second vote too: a 70% supermajority from the local governing body, with the extra revenue dedicated to infrastructure and an automatic 10-year sunset. Combined rates run 5.5% to 7.5% depending on the address, and a store in an unincorporated area can legitimately still ring at the bare state rate. Storeveu holds each store's combined rate and refreshes it on the quarterly schedule the Department of Revenue publishes.

Nebraska's food exemption is wide enough that candy, soda, bottled water and ice ring tax free right along with milk and bread, the test is simply whether the package carries an FDA Nutrition Facts panel. Flip to anything heated, combined by the store, or served with a utensil and it becomes fully taxable, and in Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island and several other cities that hot case, fountain or deli item also carries a separate city occupation tax on top, from 1% in Kearney up to 2.5% in Omaha and Ralston. That second tax is billed to the city rather than the state, and in most of those cities it sits inside the base that sales tax is then calculated on. Storeveu tags each item by its exemption status and applies the extra city line only where it applies, so a shelf item and a fountain drink from the same store never share a tax rule by accident.

Nebraska Lottery pays retailers 5% of the retail value of instant ticket packs purchased, net of any packs returned, and 5.5% of net proceeds on draw games sold online, and both figures already cover redeeming winning tickets as well as selling them. There is no separate cashing rate and no side payments allowed from any other source. Keno is a different product entirely, a local-option county or city game run through the Charitable Gaming Division rather than the Nebraska Lottery, with its own licensing and its own age rule. Storeveu tracks scratch and draw as separate streams measured against packs purchased rather than tickets sold, so the commission report reconciles against the Lottery's own retailer statement.

Nebraska is a licence state, not a control state, and a Class D licence lets a single convenience or grocery store sell beer, wine and spirits off-premise from one counter. There is no statewide numeric quota, though the local governing body weighs in on every application before the Commission issues it, and sales are barred 1am to 6am and by default on Sundays unless the city or county has adopted an ordinance allowing them. Alcohol and tobacco both card at 21, so one age-verification prompt covers both categories. Storeveu runs a date-of-birth prompt at the register and can be set per store to only ring the categories that store's licence actually covers.
