Setting the Tax Rates
Setting the Tax Rates
You can program 4 different tax rates on your cash register. Each tax rate
can be linked directly to a department key (see Programming Tax Status
on page 37), or by pressing the Tax 1 or Tax 2 keys before ringing up an
entry.
You can set the cash register to not print the tax rate on receipts. For more
information, see Programming Flag Options on page 56.
You can program each Tax Rate as follows:
• As an ADD-ON RATE (used in the USA) - means the tax amount prints
separately on the receipt. Add-on Tax is most common in the United
States. Add-on Tax can be programmed as either a fixed-rate which
charges tax based on a percentage, or using the tax table codes, which is
a calculation based on an approved tax chart issued by your local or state
government.
• Canadian Tax System - allows you to program the GST/PST tax system
required in Canada.
• VAT (Value Added Tax) - means that the tax amount is included in the
price of the item.
See the Royal website for the tax table codes for your particular state.
After you have the tax table codes for your state, see Calculating State Tax
Table Codes on page 114 for help or contact your local state government
office for the current tax rates.
To program a basic tax rate, see Programming the Sales Tax on page 8.
