Sales Tax Programming
The
SPS-300
allows three calculation options for each of the four possible taxes.
•
Add-On -
most sales taxes can be programmed by entering an
add-on
tax percentage
rate.
•
Tax Table -
if a tax entered as an add-on tax percentage does not follow exactly the tax
chart follow that apply in your area,
tax table
programming will match tax collection
exactly to the break points of your tax table. (Tax table programming allows up to 75
breakpoints.)
•
VAT -
if tax is included in the cost of the item, you can use value added tax (
VAT
) to
calculate the tax share of each sale.
•
GST -
Canadian
G
oods and
S
ervices
T
ax (
GST
) can be set using tax rate 4.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, 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 amounts 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, or if you cannot program your tax properly from the
information in this manual, contact your Dealer for assistance.
