POS built for Utah convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Utah's 4.85% state rate never stands alone. A 1% local sales and use tax and a 0.25% county option tax apply almost everywhere, and a third 0.25% layer, transit or transportation depending on the jurisdiction, is present in every jurisdiction too, so the real statewide floor is 6.35%, not the 6.10% you get from only adding the two most commonly cited pieces. Combined rates run up to about 8.45% in most cities and counties and reach 10.05% in a handful of resort and MIDA districts. Storeveu sets Utah's rate at the state level so every store inherits it automatically, with a per-store override for a jurisdiction that needs its own line.

Unprepared grocery food rings at a flat 3% everywhere in Utah, built from a fixed 1.75% state food rate plus the local pieces, and that figure does not shift by city the way the general rate does. Prepared food loses the discount and pays the full local combined rate instead: Utah's test is whether the seller heats the item, combines ingredients, or hands over a utensil, so a plain donut and the same donut with a napkin and fork can ring differently. A fuel-primary convenience store's hot case is also carved out of the local restaurant tax that some counties add on top of ordinary food service. Storeveu's per-department tax rules keep the grocery shelf and the hot case on their own rates on one receipt.

Utah has no state lottery, so there are no tickets to sell, no commission to track and no end-of-shift ticket scan to run. The compliance weight that a lottery counter carries elsewhere falls on tobacco and vapor products here instead: e-cigarette products must be certified on the Tax Commission's registry before they can be sold, flavoured e-cigarettes including mint are banned, and self-service tobacco displays are prohibited outside licensed specialty shops. Storeveu's scan data module keeps tobacco reporting current against rules like these.

Utah is a control state: DABS is the exclusive wholesaler and retailer of spirits, wine and any beer over 5% ABV, so an off-premise convenience or grocery store can only sell beer at or under that cap, and only under its own DABS off-premise licence alongside the local one. The purchase age is 21 for both alcohol and tobacco, but Utah requires tobacco retailers to check ID for anyone who looks under 30, a stricter carding trigger than the common under-27 rule. Storeveu's date-of-birth prompts at the register can be set to that carding age instead of a generic default.
