Programming Tax
Most sales taxes can be programmed by entering a tax percentage rate. However, in some cases you
may find that tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax chart that applies in
your area. If this is the case, you must enter your tax using tax table programming. This method will
match tax collection exactly to the break points of your tax table. See “Tax Table Programming” on
page 54.
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 the CRS, Inc. Service Center at 1-888-333-6776 for assistance.
