Table tax

Your POS terminal has an automatic tax calculation feature which allows you to program four tax tables to avoid calculating incorrect tax amounts.

Automatic tax calculations require you to program, in addition to the tax table, the tax status of each pertinent department, PLU, and function key.

To program a tax table, first make a table like the right table shown above.

From the tax table, calculate the differences between a minimum breakpoint and the next one (A). Then, from the differences, find irregular cycles (B) and regular cycles (C and D). These cycles will show you the following items necessary to program the tax table:

T:

Q:

M1:

M2:

M:

Tax amount collected on the minimum taxable amount (Q)

Minimum taxable amount

Maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (C).

We call this point “MAX point.”

Maximum value of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle (D).

We call this point “MAX point.”

Range of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle: difference between Q and M1 or between M1 and M2

176

Table tax (continued)

Select a pertinent tax no. from the taxes list.

Program each item as follows:

• TAX RATE (Use the numeric entry)

Tax rate for the tax table (max. 7 digits: 0.0000 to 999.9999)

• CYCLE (Use the numeric entry)

Range of the minimum breakpoint on a regular cycle for the tax table (max. 4 digits: 0.01 to 99.99)

See the description “M” shown on the previous page.

• INITIAL TAX (Use the numeric entry)

Initial tax amount for the tax table (max. 3 digits: 0.01 to

9.99)

See the description “T” shown on the previous page.

• LOWER TAX LIMIT (Use the numeric entry)

Minimum taxable amount for the tax table (max. 5 digits: 0.01

to 999.99)

See the description “Q” shown on the previous page.

• BREAK POINT1 thru 72 (Use the numeric entry)

Breakpoints programmable for the tax table (max. 5 digits:

0.01 to 999.99)

Seventy-two breakpoints can be programmed for each tax table. When the interval between breakpoints is one dollar or more and less than one-hundred dollar, 36 breakpoints are programmed for each tax table.

The screen continues.

Rate (%) tax

You can program a tax rate for each tax rate number.

Program each item as follows:

Select a pertinent tax no. from the taxes list.

• TAX RATE (Use the numeric entry)

Tax rate (max. 7 digits: 0.0000 to 999.9999%)

• LOWER TAX LIMIT (Use the numeric entry)

Lowest taxable amount (max. 5 digits: 0.01 to 999.99)

178

Doughnut tax exempt (for the Canadian tax system)

Program the item as follows:

• QUANTITY (Use the numeric entry)

Quantity for the doughnut tax exempt (for Canadian tax)

(max. 2 digits: 1 to 99/0)

NOTE

This option is available only when the Canadian tax system is selected.
