Tax Programming
The
ER-420 Series
has the capability to support four separate taxes.
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between .001% and 99.999%, or a 60 break
point tax table. Each tax may be either an add-on tax (added to the cost of a taxable item), or a value added
tax (VAT) that is included in the price of the item.
Tax rate 4 may be set to function as the Canadian Goods & Services Tax (GST). Definitions for tax rates 1, 2,
3 & 4 are made as part of tax programming.
•
If you are entering a tax rate (add-on or VAT), see "Straight Percentage Tax Rate
Programming" to enter the percentage rate.
•
If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use tax rate 4 for
the GST tax, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes.
See "Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming" to enter the GST status and
percentage rate.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program(s), test for accuracy by entering
several transactions of different amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax charged by
the cash register matches the tax on the printed tax chart for your area. As a merchant, you
are responsible for accurate tax collection. If the cash register is not calculating tax
accurately, contact your dealer for assistance.
