Programming Complex Tax Rates

HAPTER
Your cash register can manage complex tax rates and assignments. This chapter
explains how to set these up.
Many people do not need the information in this chapter. If this information does not
relate to your business needs, you can skip it. If some information is related to your
specific needs, then skip any sections which you do not need to set up your cash
register.
If you do not know your sales tax rate and base amount, contact your local
government office and ask for your local tax chart. The base tax amount is the
maximum point up to which no tax is charged. Sometimes this is also called the
maximum tax exempt amount. By default, your cash register does not set any base
amount, resulting in all amounts being taxable. If your base tax amount is other than
zero cents, see Programming Table Tax in the United States on page 54.
When you set up your cash register, you programmed the cash register to use a
simple sales tax, appropriate for your area. Chapter 2 explains how to program a
simple sales tax. Chapter 5 explains how to link sales tax to departments.
You do not need to reprogram all options if you want to update or change one thing.
Save this manual in a safe place so you have it for future programming. After you are
