TAX RATE
__________________________________________________________________
Programming the Tax Rate
This unit supports up to 4 Tax Tables; therefore, it allows 4 separate tax rates to be established and each of those rates can be
linked to a department. For instance, Tax1 could be 6%, Tax2 could be 8%, Tax3 could be 5.5% and Tax4 could be 2%. By
establishing separate tax rates, a separate Tax rate total is printed on the management report, if you want to know taxes paid by
rate.
Each tax rate can be programmed as either a
fixed percent tax rate
or
tax table rate
. The fixed rate is a fixed percentage
charged on the total item. For example, 5%. A tax table rate is based on an approved chart issued by your state your local tax
authority.
NOTE
: Some individual state tax tables are available to be downloaded at www.royal.com in the Cash Register section of the
web site.
The tax system can be set for one of the following settings:
0 = USA Tax Mode (standard setting for U.S. tax)
1 = Canadian Tax Mode
2 = VAT Tax Mode (commonly used in European Countries)
The cash register has already been set at the factory for the USA Tax Mode. If you need to change to the Canadian Tax
System or to the VAT Tax System, following the instructions in those sections.
See the next page for programming details.
