Programming the State Tax
You need to get a copy of your state's Retail Tax Chart so you can know
the base tax amount. The base tax amount is the maximum price where
no tax is charged. For example, if no tax is charged from 0 cents to 10
cents, then 10 cents is the base tax amount.
After you find out your state’s tax rate, you can program it into your cash
register.
