Tax Programming
The
ER-230
has the capability to support four separate taxes.
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between 0.001% 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.
•
The Default program is set to 10.000% VAT on Tax 1 and the description is set to GST
already.
•
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 dollar 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.
