Tax ProgrammingThe SAM4s ER-5115 has the capability to support four separate taxes.Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between .001% and 99.999%, or a 60break point tax table. Each tax may be either an add-on tax (added to the cost of a taxable item), or avalue 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). If Tax 4 isdesignated as GST, table programming for the rate is not allowed.Definitions for tax rates 1, 2, 3 & 4 are made as part of tax programming.If you are entering a tax rate (add-on or VAT), see "Straight Percentage Tax RateProgramming" on page 94 to enter the percentage rate.If you are entering a tax table, see “Tax Table Programming” on page 95 to enter the taxbreak points.If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use tax rate 4 for theGST tax, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes. See"Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming" on page 94 to enter the GST status andpercentage rate.Important Note: After you have entered your tax program(s), test for accuracy by enteringseveral transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make sure the tax chargedby the cash register matches the tax on the printed tax chart for your area. As a merchant, youare responsible for accurate tax collection.
