Setting the Tax Status.
The tax status determines how you want the tax rate to be charged when
using the Coupon Discount key. Contact your local tax authorities to learn
your local tax requirements.
The options are:
• To charge tax on the original amount of an item (the amount before the
coupon is deducted).
• To charge tax on the discounted amount of an item (the amount after
the coupon discount is deducted).
Note
If you have no tax rate programmed in the cash register, use 00 from the Tax
Status Numbers table.
The following Tax Status numbers are used to link the Tax Status to the
Coupon Discount key.
