Tax Programming; Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming - Sam4s ER-380 Operation And Program Manual

Tax Programming

The Sam4S 3xx, 4xx and 52xx Electronic Cash Registers has the capability to support four separate
taxes.
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between 0.001% and 99.999%, or a 60
break point tax table. Each tax may be either an add-on tax (added to the cost of a taxable item), or a
value added tax (VAT) that is included in the price of the item.
Tax rate 4 may be set to function as the Canadian Goods & Services Tax (GST). Definitions for tax
rates 1, 2, 3 & 4 are made as part of tax programming.
•
The Default program is set to 10.000% VAT on Tax 1 and the description is set to
GST already.
•
If you are entering a tax rate (add-on or VAT), see "Straight Percentage Tax Rate
Programming" to enter the percentage rate.
•
If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use tax rate 4 for the GST
tax, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes. See "Straight
Percentage Tax Rate Programming" to enter the GST status and percentage rate.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program(s), test for accuracy by entering several transactions
of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax charged by the cash register matches the tax
on the printed tax chart for your area. As a merchant, you are responsible for accurate tax collection. If the cash
register is not calculating tax accurately, contact your dealer for assistance.
