The cash register can support US and Canadian tax systems. If you use the Canadian tax system,
you must first change the tax system, then program the tax rate or tax table and quantity for
doughnut exempt which are described in this section. For changing your cash register’s tax
system, please refer to “Various Function Selection Programming 1” section (job code 70).
Before you can proceed with registration of sales, you must first program the tax that is levied in accordance
with the law of your state. The cash register comes with the ability to program four different tax rates. In most
states, you will only need to program Tax 1. However if you live in an area that has a separate local tax (such
as a Parish tax) or a hospitality tax, the register can be programmed to calculate these separate taxes.
When you program the tax status for a department, tax will be automatically added to sales of items assigned to
the department according to the programmed tax status for the department. You can also enter tax manually.
There are two tax programming methods. The tax rate method uses a straight percentage rate per dollar. The
tax table method requires tax break information from your states or local tax offices. Use the method which is
acceptable in your state. You can obtain necessary data for tax programming from your local tax office.
