Sales Tax Programming
The SPS-300 allows three calculation options for each of the four possible taxes.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, 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 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.
Programming an Add-On Tax Rate Percentage
When tax requirements can be met using a straight percentage rate, use the following method
to program a tax as a straight percentage.
SAM4s SPS-300 Operator's & Programming Manual v1.34

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 follow 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.)

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.

A fourth tax programming option, for the Canadian Goods and Services tax
(GST) can be set using tax rate 4.
