Tax Rate Section of Sales Summary

[pizzaplacesf]

Under the Tax Rate section of our sales summary report (underneath Tax and Non taxable), all of a sudden about 10 days ago a line item shows up that says Marketplace Facilitator Taxes Not Paid and there’s a little info icon to click on that explains  : the tax amount was calculated, but not paid by your online ordering providers who are designated as Marketplace Facilitators and is not included in the amounts above. Please refer to your provider for more information.

The amount that shows up in that line item, coincides with DoorDash delivery amounts which we started using about four months ago, but this line item just started appearing more recently.
Anyone have experience with this?

Please correctly me if I'm wrong. Depending on here you are located, but here in California they passed a new mandate called "Marketplace Facilitator Act", which requires marketplace facilitators such as Doordash and UberEats to remit sales taxes  on behalf of businesses on their platform. Depending on how you want your taxes to be remitted, by marketplace facilitators or by you, you might need to configure your tax settings accordingly on Toast as well as on your Doordash backend. You can find more information here: https://doc.toasttab.com/doc/platformguide/adminMarketplaceFacilitatorTaxPayments.html
