TAX STATUS PROGRAMMING
The ER-150 may be programmed to tax
items at either a straight percentage tax rate, or
on a tax table entered into the machine during this
phase of program-ming.
ENTERING A FIXED RATE
The ER-150 will accept a 5 digit tax rate,
with the decimal point fixed at three places (00.000). If
your area taxes goods based on a straight percentage,
enter the rate in the following manner.

FORMULATING A TAX TABLE
In some locales were taxes do not follow flat percentage
rates, it is necessary to enter the tax rate as a table.
Before beginning tax table programming, obtain a local
tax chart and determine tax breaks for your area.
Determine the lowest amount to be taxed, and the amount
of tax that is added at that point (some states add .05 at the
first breakpoint). Next determine the tax break points by
checking the chart for the highest amount allowed before
each penny of tax is added. The difference between the
high amounts before each penny is added determine the
tax break point.
