Tax Table Programming - Sam4s ER-900 Series Operator's And Programming Manual

Tax Table Programming

In some cases, a tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that
apply in your area (even if the tax chart is based on a percentage). In these cases, we
recommend that you enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will match tax
collection exactly to the break points of your tax table.
Before programming, obtain a copy of the tax table you wish to program. You will need the
printed tax table if you wish to determine the break point entries yourself.
Note: You can enter up to 60 break points.

1. Examine the printed tax table for the tax you are programming.
2. Refer to the "Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table" on page
125 to help with this exercise.
3. Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous
range from the high side of the dollar range.
4. Examine the pattern of break point differences to determine when the break
points begin to repeat. Mark the beginning break points that do not fit a pattern
as "non-repeat breaks." Mark the break points that are repeating in a pattern as
"repeat breaks."
1. Turn the control lock to the PGM position.
2. Enter 10; press the TAX key for the tax you are programming, i.e. TAX 1, TAX
2, TAX 3 or TAX 4.
3. Enter the maximum amount that is not taxed and press the appropriate TAX key.
4. Enter the first tax amount charged and press the appropriate TAX key.
5. For each non-repeat break point, up to the last non-repeat break point, enter the
high side from the sale dollar range and press the appropriate TAX key.
6. For the last non-repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range
and press the X/TIME key.
7. For each repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and
press the appropriate TAX key.
8. Press the CASH key to end the tax table program.
