Appendix A: Calculating State Tax Table Codes
Programming the State Tax
You need to get a copy of your state's Retail Tax Chart so you can know the base tax amount. The base tax amount is the maximum price where no tax is charged. For example, if no tax is charged from 0 cents to 10 cents, then 10 cents is the base tax amount.
After you find out your state’s tax rate, you can program it into your cash register.
Note
If you make a mistake or you hear an error beep while you are programming the sales tax, press Clear and start over with Step 3.
