Sales Tax Programming - Sam4s SPS-300 Programming & Operation Manual

Sales Tax Programming

The SPS-300 allows three calculation options for each of the four possible taxes.
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between 0.001% and 99.999%, or an up
to 75 break point tax table (For US Market). 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 do need to program any of the 4 taxes in the system, a related tax (TAX 1 ~ 4)
function key has to be assigned on the keyboard. Please refer to Service Mode, 6.Key
Assignment programming for detail.
•
Add-On - most sales taxes can be programmed by entering an add-on tax percentage rate.
•
Tax Table - if a tax entered as an add-on tax percentage does not follow exactly the tax
chart that apply in your area, tax table programming will match tax collection exactly to the
break points of your tax table. (Tax table programming allows up to 75 breakpoints.)(FOR
USA)
•
VAT - if tax is included in the cost of the item, you can use value added tax (VAT) to
calculate the tax share of each sale.
•
If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use Tax 4 for the Canadian
GST, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, test for accuracy by entering several
SAM4S SPS-300 Series Electronic Cash Register AU
transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax
charged by the cash register matches the tax amounts 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, or if you cannot program your tax properly
from the information in this manual, contact your Dealer for assistance.
