Contact your local state government office for your current tax rates.
You must first select one of 2 tax systems:
• Select Tax (USA) - the tax amount is added onto the price of the item sold.
Add-on Tax is most common in the United States. Add-on Tax can be
programmed as either:
• Straight Tax, which charges tax based on a flat percentage rate. For example,
7.75% of the price of the item. This form of add-on tax is most common in the
United States.
• Tax Table Codes, which is a calculation based on an approved tax chart issued
by your local or state government. This method lists a range of prices and the
exact tax for each range. For example, from 11 cents to 24 cents, the tax is 3
cents.
• Select VAT (Value Added Tax) - includes the tax amount in the price of the
item.
You can only use one tax system at a time. After you select the tax system as the Tax
(USA) you want to use, you can program up to 4 different tax rates. If needed, you
can also link these tax rates together.
For example, you can select Add-on Tax and program 4 different tax rates. When
you program a department you can select to link 1 or more of these tax rates
together. You can also select a specific tax for an item by pressing the tax shift key
while ringing up an item.
You can specify that the cash register does not print the tax amount on
receipts. For more information, see Print Parameters on page39.
