Programming Complex Tax Rates
Your cash register can manage complex tax rates and assignments. This
chapter explains how to set these up.
Many people do not need the information in this chapter. If this
information does not relate to your business needs, you can skip it. If some
information is related to your specific needs, then skip any sections which
you do not need to set up your cash register.
If you do not know your sales tax rate and base amount, contact your local
government office and ask for your local tax chart. The base tax amount is
the maximum point up to which no tax is charged. Sometimes this is also
called the
maximum tax exempt amount
. By default, your cash register does
not set any base amount, resulting in all amounts being taxable. If your
base tax amount is other than zero cents, see Programming Table Tax in
the United States on page 72.
When you set up your cash register, you programmed the cash register to
use a simple sales tax, appropriate for your area. Chapter 2 explains how
to program a simple sales tax. Chapter 5 explains how to link sales tax to
departments.
You do not need to reprogram all options if you want to update or change
one thing. Save this manual in a safe place so you have it for future
programming. After you are done programming, you can print
Confirmation Reports to check your results. For more information, see
Running Reports on page 79.
