Programming a Tax Table
In some cases, a tax that is entered as a percentage does not exactly follow 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. The "Tax Table
Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table" on page 168 is used as an example in the
steps that follow.
Note: You can enter up to 75 break points.

the sales tax. For example if the tax is 6 percent, enter 6.000 or 6.0. If the tax is
7.5 percent, enter 7.500 or 7.5 using the decimal key. If the tax is 10 percent,
enter 10.000 or 10.0. Press CASH to set the rate.
6. The TAX PROG. screen will return prompting you to enter the next tax, if
necessary. Continue to program additional taxes or press CLEAR to return to
the PROGRAM MODE screen.
