Calculating State Tax Table Codes
This appendix shows you how to program your cash register for state tax.
Check the Royal website at www.royal.com for the established state tax
table rates.
The State Tax Code represents a series of codes which are derived from
your State's Retail Tax Chart to give you the highest level of accuracy in
charging sales and other taxes.
Calculating Your Tax
This section gives you instructions for figuring your own tax code if your
specific state's tax code is not listed in the appendix. Take the time to
follow the Example Tax Chart on page 122. Familiarize yourself with the
method of determining the tax code.
Then, using The Worksheet on page 123, duplicate the method of
calculating your state tax code by the steps described in this section. To do
this you need to get a copy of your state's Retail Tax Chart from your local
Tax Office. After you are done, write down the tax code and save the
information for future reference.
Every tax table consists of tax brackets. Each consecutive tax bracket is
assigned a tax which is exactly one cent higher than that assigned to the
previous tax bracket. For examples, see Example Tax Chart on page 122.
In our Example Tax Chart, a sale from .00 to .12 is not taxed. The next tax
bracket a sale from .13 to .31 is taxed one cent. The next tax bracket a sale
