CALCULATING STATE TAX TABLE CODES

Appendix 2

CALCULATING BREAKPOINTS

IMPORTANT: This is a one time only procedure. Once the code for the tax table has been established and entered into the register, it never has to be repeated. Please take the time to follow the example given and familiarize yourself with the method of determining the code. Then using the Worksheet that follows, fill in the appropriate amounts from your approved tax table and derive the corresponding code by simply following the steps given.

Every tax table consists of tax brackets. Each consecutive tax bracket is assigned a tax which is exactly one cent higher than that assigned to the previous tax bracket. In the Program Example that follows a sale from 0¢ to 14¢ is not taxed. However, in the next tax bracket a sale from 15¢ to 37¢ is taxed 1¢. Likewise, in the next tax bracket a sale from 38¢ to 62¢ is taxed 2¢. The tax table progresses in a similar form.

The difference between the starting amounts of each consecutive tax bracket is call a "breakpoint". Every tax table consists of a particular sequence of breakpoints. In the Program Example that follows, the difference between 0¢ and 15¢ is 15¢. Therefore 15 is the first breakpoint. Likewise, the difference between 15¢ and 38¢ is 23¢.

Therefore 23 is the second breakpoint. The breakpoints progress in a particular sequence throughout the entire tax table. This particular sequence of breakpoints is used to determine the programming code.

The sequence of breakpoints is divided into "Regular" and "Irregular" patterns. All tax tables repeat a pattern of regular breakpoints after a lower irregular breakpoint pattern. To determine the breakpoint patterns, it is first necessary to calculate the breakpoints. This is easily done by using the Worksheet that follows. Simply fill in Chart A with the amounts from your approved tax table. Then calculate the breakpoints as was previously explained and fill them in on Chart B. Continue to calculate the breakpoints until you have found the "Regular" repeat breakpoint pattern.

Please refer to the Program Example. Note the following:

Breakpoints - 15, 23, 25, 25, 25, 30, 36, 34, 30 - Represents the "Irregular" pattern.

Breakpoints - 29, 28, 29, 29, 28, 29, 28 - Represents the "Regular" repeat pattern.

As a check to ensure that the "Regular" repeat pattern has correctly been located, add up all the breakpoints of the pattern. In most cases the resulting number will be a multiple of a dollar (i.e. $1.00 or $2.00) or must be a number that will divide evenly into a dollar (i.e. 10¢, 25¢, 50¢). In the Program Example, the breakpoints -29, 28, 29, 29, 28, 29, 28 add up to 200.

Entering the Program Code:

Once you have filled in both Chart A and Chart B and have determined the "Irregular" and "Regular" breakpoint patterns, you are ready to derive the necessary program code from this information.

There are seven (7) steps necessary. Please refer to the Program Example for additional illustrations of the steps.

STEP A: Type the Tax Number (1, 2 or 3) you want the tax code assigned to, then press the (PO) key.

NOTE: Tax Tables cannot be assigned to Tax 4.

ALPHA9155SC specifications

The Royal Consumer Information Products ALPHA9155SC is a state-of-the-art shredder that combines intense performance with advanced features, designed specifically for both home and office environments. This powerful machine stands out in the market for its ability to deliver effective paper shredding while ensuring user-friendly operations.

One of the most notable features of the ALPHA9155SC is its crosscut shredding capability. This allows the shredder to turn standard A4 sheets of paper into tiny particles, making it exceptionally difficult for anyone to reconstruct any shredded documents, thus enhancing security for sensitive information. With a shredding capacity of up to 15 sheets in one go, users can efficiently manage high volumes of documents in a short amount of time, increasing productivity in busy environments.

The ALPHA9155SC incorporates advanced jam-proof technology, which significantly reduces the likelihood of paper jams that can disrupt workflow. This feature automatically detects when the shredder is overloaded and reverses the paper to eliminate potential jams, ensuring a smooth shredding experience. Users can operate the shredder without worrying about interruptions, allowing them to focus on the task at hand.

In addition to its shredding capabilities, the ALPHA9155SC is designed with user convenience in mind. It features an easy-to-use control panel, allowing users to operate the shredder with minimal effort. The machine also comes equipped with a spacious waste bin, which can hold a considerable amount of shredded material, reducing the need for frequent emptying. The bin includes a viewing window so users can quickly check the fill level without having to open it.

Moreover, safety features are a priority in the design of the ALPHA9155SC. It includes an automatic shut-off function that pauses operation when the bin is full or when the machine is overheated, protecting both the shredder and the material being processed. Additionally, the machine operates quietly, making it suitable for use in shared spaces without causing disturbances.

Overall, the Royal Consumer Information Products ALPHA9155SC stands out as a reliable and efficient document-shredding solution. With its advanced shredding capabilities, user-friendly design, and focus on safety and efficiency, it is an ideal choice for those seeking to secure their sensitive information while maintaining productivity.
