To Program A Single Fixed Tax Rate; To Program A Second Fixed Tax Rate - Royal Alpha 9180sc Instruction Manual

Four different tax rates can be programmed on your cash register. Each tax rate can be linked directly to a Department
key or by pressing the [TAX SHIFT] or [FOOD STAMP] keys before ringing up an entry. Extra Option: If desired, a
procedure is offered to eliminate the tax rate from printing on transaction receipts, for details see Flag 6, Option 1, on
Page 35.
Each Tax Rate can be programmed as follows:
a. As an ADD-ON RATE (used in the USA) - which means the tax amount prints separately on the receipt. Add-on
Tax is most common in the United States. Add-on Tax can be programmed as either a fixed-rate which charges
tax based on a percentage, or using the tax table codes, which is a calculation based on an approved tax chart
issued by your local or state government.
b. VAT (Value Added Tax) which means that the tax amount is included in the price of the item.
c. CANADIAN TAX SYSTEM - allows the programming of GST/PST tax system required in Canada.
Canadian tax programming, see Appendix III.
