Senior Citizen (SC) & Person With Disabilities (PWD) Discount

Icle Quijada -

KaHero POS now has a feature that allows you to apply Senior Citizen/PWD discounts to your transaction tickets. You don't need to manually add the discounts through listings.

Under the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act No. 9994, Senior Citizens (SC) and Person With Disabilities (PWD) are entitled to a 20% discount and an exemption from the 12% Value-Added Tax (VAT) on the sale of goods and services.

💡
This feature is exclusively for VAT-registered businesses in the Philippines. If you meet these criteria and have a PRO account, you can activate the BIR feature by contacting our team.
