   * **Active:** Review whether the slab should be available for assignment to new menu items.
6. Review your changes carefully.
7. Save the changes using the available save option.

After saving, verify that the tax slab displays the updated information.

## Understanding the In Use Count

The **In use** column indicates how many menu items are using a particular tax slab.

Before editing or deleting a slab, review this count to understand whether it is currently assigned to menu items.

If the count is greater than zero, check how the changes may affect the affected menu items before proceeding.

## How to Delete a Tax Slab

1. Navigate to **Settings → Taxation**.
2. Locate the tax slab you want to delete.
3. Review the slab name, configured rates, and **In use** count.
4. Click the **Delete** icon in the Actions column.
5. Read any confirmation message or warning displayed.
6. Proceed only if you understand the consequences and want to delete the slab.

If the system prevents deletion or displays a warning, follow the instructions shown on the screen.

## Important Notes

* Verify the tax slab name before editing or deleting it.
* Review the configured rates for **Delivery**, **Pickup**, and **Jade & Ember Dining**, where applicable.
* Inactive tax slabs cannot be assigned to new menu items.
* Review the **In use** count before making changes to a slab that is assigned to menu items.
* Check the applicable tax rules before changing tax rates.
* The effect of editing or deleting a slab may depend on the system's configuration.

## Troubleshooting

### I cannot find the Edit or Delete option

Check whether the selected tax slab supports the action and whether your account has the required permissions.

### I cannot delete a tax slab

Review any message displayed by the system. The slab may be subject to restrictions or other conditions. Follow the instructions provided by the system or contact your administrator if further assistance is needed.

### The updated tax rate is not reflected as expected

1. Reopen **Settings → Taxation**.
2. Verify that the updated rate was saved.
3. Check the tax category assigned to the affected menu item.
4. Confirm that the correct service type is configured.
5. Review the order total again.

If the issue persists, contact your system administrator or support team for assistance.
