Programming Complex Tax Rates
Your cash register can manage complex tax rates and assignments. This
chapter explains how to do this.
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 where no tax is charged. Your cash registers defaults
to a base tax amount of 10 cents. If your base tax amount is other than 10
cents, see Calculating State Tax Table Codes on page 118.
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 set up sales tax
related to departments or PLUs.
