TAX RATE
Programming the Tax Rate
This cash register supports up to 4 Tax Tables; therefore, it allows 4 separate tax rates to be established and each of those
rates can be linked to a different department. For instance, Tax1 could be 6%, Tax2 could be 8%, Tax3 could be 5.5% and Tax4
could be 2%. By establishing separate tax rates, a separate Tax rate total is printed on the management report, if you want to
know taxes paid by rate.
Each tax rate can be programmed as either a
fixed percent tax rate
or
tax table rate
. The fixed rate is an add-on, fixed
percentage charged on the total item. For example, a 5% tax would mean $5.00 sales tax is charged on a taxable sale with a
$100.00 of merchandise; and the total for that sales transaction will be $105.00.
A tax table rate is based on an approved tax table chart issued by an individual state or local municipality. If programming by tax
table rate, then please obtain a copy of the exact tax table from your state or local tax authority and then contact Royal
Customer Service for more information.
The tax system can be set for one of the following international settings:
0 = add-on tax: USA Tax Mode (standard setting for U.S. tax)
1 = Canadian Tax Mode
2 = VAT Tax Mode (commonly used in Mexico and European Countries)
The cash register has already been set at the factory for the USA Tax Mode. If you need to change to the Canadian Tax
System or to the VAT Tax System, follow the instructions in those sections. Please see the end of the manual.
