Appendix A: Calculating State Tax Table Codes
•The Number 1 - The programming mode for a tax table is 1. When programming any tax table code this number does not change.
For example: If the base tax is .12 cents: Type 121, then press Tax 2.
The display shows 1.21.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step A.
4For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step D:
The second number to be programmed is a six digit number. Follow the instructions and examples below to determine your six digit number. In PRG position, type the six digit number and then press the Tax 2 key.
Example: 4% State Tax Table:
(2) | 100 | (1) | 4 | 4% Tax Table Rate |
| x 24 |
| x 24 | Multiplier |
|
|
|
| Result: The six digit number to be |
| 2400 |
| 96 | |
|
|
|
| programmed is 240096 |
•(1) First determine the multiplier1. The multiplier is the number which when multiplied by the percentage rate equals a whole number as close as possible to the number 100 and still remaining a 2 digit number. In the example above, the multiplier is 24. The number 4 (the percentage rate) is multiplied by 24 to determine the number 96 which is the last two digits of the 6 digit number to be programmed: (24 x 4 = 96).
•(2) The first four digits of the 6 digit number (2400) are determined by multiplying the number 24 by 100 (24 x 100 = 2400). The final resulting 6 digit number to be programmed is 240096.
Using The Worksheet, complete Step D.
5For the following, see the Example Tax Chart, Step E:
•In PRG position, type the individual breakpoints of the Irregular breakpoint pattern and press the Tax 2 key after each breakpoint. Place the number 10 before the last breakpoint entry.
Table 22 Example: Irregular breakpoint sequence: 13, 19, 23, 27, 27, 1029
Type... | Press... | Appears as... |
|
|
|
13 | Tax 2 | 0.13 |
|
|
|
19 | Tax 2 | 0.19 |
|
|
|
23 | Tax 2 | 0.23 |
|
|
|
1.The easiest way to determine the multiplier is to divide the number 100 by the percentage rate until the result is a whole number as close to 100 as possible and still remaining a 2 digit number.
